Sustainable Living at its best, a rewarding lifestyle
We are transitioning into the Florida summer heat, and will again try growing crops.....
The beds are being prepared for a Spring garden, and we are just keeping the grass mowed. We hope the rain and heat will not hinder planting tomatoes and beans.
Mother Nature usually wins no matter what you want, so you must have patience if you want to reap a bountiful harvest. It's rewarding anyway to grow your own crops and harvest them. |

Eggs, eggs, eggs. Farm fresh eggs!
Happy chickens produce happy eggs. With the freedom to wander around in the sunshine pecking for insects, and dusting/fluffing themselves in the hollowed out dirt piles, our hens are clucking, singing to the goats, and providing us with healthy, organic, cage free eggs.
We had one rooster, a large buff orpington, whom we called "Rooboo" but he has passed away and the baton now is passed to his successor who was born on the farm last year. Egg prices fluctuate with the price of feed, and supply and demand. Currently we are holding ar $4/dozen. |

Roosters may crow, but hens get the job done.
Isn't that the case in life as well - okay, sometimes?
My butterfly garden has guests. Viv made it for me for Christmas several years ago, and it is time to enjoy it again this year. With no winter to speak of, the bees were busy and the flowers were in abundance.
Rosie B loved to sit watching the butterflies float with the breeze, landing on the flowers, and fluttering away. RIP Miss Rosie, and chase the clouds above us. You will always be in our hearts.
