It’s been quite a week for us!
The extra long holiday weekend allowed us to keep up with the usual chores and fit in some extra fun. So, we took a road trip out to visit with Andrew and Misty of Geek.Farm.Life podcast fame. We went out for an enormous brunch, made cream, butter, and bread [...]

It may not be apparent, but it was my interest in gardening that first led me to keeping chickens. I love to garden, and I really love to grow food. It makes me feel empowered and more in touch with my body, and it also makes me feel somewhat…virtuous.

We’ve all heard how important vitamins are to our health. Well, I found out last week that part of the reason I have been feeling like such a tired, crabby, idiot is that my vitamin B 12 level has dropped much too low. When I found this out, I had my typical reaction: “Well, that [...]
