Chickens Hittin’ the Hay

April 10, 2013 by Steph Calvert Leave a Comment

The first time our new chickens went outside of the coop, they all went over to this big pine tree. At the end of the day when it was time for them to get back in the coop, it took Jenn and I 45 minutes to collect all these cluckers! I told myself I was [...]

March 7, 2012 by Steph Calvert 5 Comments

Work has been blissfully, butt-kickingly, busy, and the weekends have been the same! We’re in full-tilt get ready for spring planting mode in the garden. We recently had to buy dirt online, and if all goes well we’ll be putting seedlings in the ground this weekend! You’ll note from the pictures, Phil spent pretty much [...]

Wild America in Our Own Backyard

December 5, 2011 by Steph Calvert Leave a Comment

Recently, I went out to the backyard for something and was greeted with an unexpected visitor just hanging out on our lawn. The second I came out the door he booked it, making haste for the wall. But instead of hopping it and running off, he just hung out. Watching me. But more importantly, watching [...]

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat…

August 4, 2011 by Steph Calvert 1 Comment

If you’ve kept up with us on Twitter, you know we had a massive gardening day last week. It left us with tons of fresh produce strewn across the table on our back porch, and a day full of food preservation. We froze food, we dehydrated, we canned. And we were STILL left with three [...]

Cha Cha Boochee, Roll Call!

May 27, 2011 by Steph Calvert Leave a Comment

We are so jazzed about our garden this year!!! No lie, we may have gone a little crazy. It’s nice having a landlord that doesn’t really care what’s in our planters so long as it looks nice and the place is taken care of, because we may have cleared out massive chunks of planting spaces [...]

Check it out, our seedlings are doing awesome! Hoping we’ll actually get pumpkins this year, and not just a huge viney plant with no fruit!

Finch Feeding!

February 6, 2011 by Steph Calvert Leave a Comment

I don’t see em at the bird feeder in front of the kitchen window too often, but a couple of finches stopped by for a snack this morning! I’m digging the mosaic quality shooting a cameraphone pic through the window screen gave this one:
