Wordless Wednesday: Tornado Daffodils & Eggs

Nate — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 08:13:17 +0000

The daffodils around the Half-Acre homestead decided last Friday, the day of our tornado havoc here in the Midwest, was the best day to start blooming. It’s a bit early for both daffodils and tornadoes but both seem to indicate we really won’t be experiencing a winter this year.

As if last Friday wasn’t odd enough, Bertha (our one chicken who lays a brown egg) decided it was a good day to start dropping eggs after a 6-week long egg laying hiatus. Maybe it was the insane pressure drop as one of those funnel clouds passed over the Half-Acre Homestead.

Wordless Wednesday: Winter Garden Treats

Proof positive that raised bed gardening has its perks: I unearthed these gems this cold late December afternoon out in the garden here at the Half-Acre Homestead. These were planted in late spring and there are many more in line to mature behind them. For anybody who doubts you can grow your own food in the winter this should tell you otherwise!

In case you haven’t already noticed, we’re all chickens this week. Our three Auracana hens have already tripled in size over the past few days and their antics are getting more and more hilarious. They’ve taken to roosting on their feeder at night. I was able to sneak in and catch a photo of them in the act! Don’t forget to watch the live stream from their brooder cage by clicking the video box to the right!
