This week started with The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird and I in Paris, France. Followed by an afternoon in San Francisco, California and it was topped off by a gloriously sunny weekend here in Western Washington. I could not have planned a more perfect week if I had tried. One of my favorite Read More >>

If you’ve been wondering how to find free containers for your garden, this post is for you! Yesterday, I went to the Home Depot to pick up a gallon of stain for the garden boxes. As I was waiting for my order to be processed, I headed over to the flower section to see if Read More >>

Yes it’s true, I am still plugging away at whittling down the frozen food supply here at Camp Mavis. Pretty soon I’ll be down to fish sticks and hot dogs, but for now I still have a few quart bags of raspberries I need to use up before this years harvest starts to roll in. Read More >>

For lunch today I whipped up a couple of homemade pizzas. The pickins’ in the freezer are looking rather slim {well, I suppose that’s all in my head.

This morning after I put the tomato incident behind me, The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird and I introduced all of baby chicks to the older chickens. Introducing new chickens into your existing flock can be kind of tricky. So I thought I would tell you how we have handled it each spring. When Read More >>
