this week in pictures


A new Friday ritual perhaps?

It has been a hard week, but it's nice to see the fruits of our labor (if you will). I finally have more pictures to share, and have decided that I will try to start uploading a photo blog every friday with bits and pieces of the week (that way you don't get my nice posts with ten million pictures all at once.) Enjoy! 

a painting I just finished

do I really need to explain?

This is Bruno (or Falcor to Jonathan), one of our guard dogs.

 I'm loving the flowers blooming all over the place.

 Things are growing!

 The brooder we made for the chickens.

 Close up of the brooder.



This little guy is Nicholas. He is the smallest of three triplet lambs, and is super friendly since he's been bottle fed.
 This tiny baby was born on Wednesday.

 The baby bunnies are getting so big.


 This handsome fellow is a Chinchila rabbit, and he is awesome.

 This is Pi, another baby this week.

 Meet Werewolf.

He's such a sweetie.

He has gotten a bit fatter since this picture.

 dozens and dozens of eggs

Jonathan getting to know Pi (his name was almost warshack.)

a working jeep.

 how did I get myself into this mess?

 One of the little babies born on Wednesday.

 There were twin yews (girls) born this morning, and mom seemed to only think she had one baby.

 One of another twins born yesterday (I think it was yesterday.)

 Some chickens taking a dust bath in their new home today.

They love fresh grass (a little too much since they decided to lay their eggs all over the place!)

Farewell, pretty waitress hands.

Until next time,

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a new project

I stumbled upon a website last week about low impact woodland homes, essentially: hobbit houses. Dug into a hillside and covered with earth to create an efficient and beautiful house. They are made with roundwood framing, using oak trees left whole as the timbers. Straw bales are used for insulation in the walls and under the floor. They used a natural lime plaster on the walls, recycled materials for everything possible, thrifted doors and windows. All together this husband/father and his father in law built a house for under $4000 in about four months.  I have been blown away by the ideas and resources available on the subject. We have spent hours already discussing the outbuildings we will need in the future, such as barns, root cellars, storage sheds, animal shelters, and well we could definitely use a few cabins around. If we can utilize the materials around us in this way, it's possible for us to create an incredible farm, beautiful, efficient, and sustainable....
