Are baby feathers a thing? One of my 5 week old chicks just dropped this from her wing. She’s only had it 4 weeks! Making room for bigger and better feathers?

Dinner, meet future dinners! My tomato plants are doing horribly this year. There was too much rain and the vines just rotted. These sweet potatoes were planted after the rain and seem to be thriving!

I was just mentioning to the butterscotch chick that she had “sturdy” looking legs when her sister leaned over to say “Cankles.” #chicks #myflock #sisters #5weeksold #fancychicken #babychicks #backyardpoultry #tinyfarm #petchickens
I don’t grow any flowers myself but they are rather pretty. Maybe I could throw out a few seeds next year…

“Hey, you have something in your ‘do.” So good to have sisters!

This chick is weird! I would swear her body is a cube under those scraggly feathers. Awk-Ward!

Gnomeo and I have been waiting for this one to ripen! 1 lb, 7 oz of gorgeous tomato! That’s 652 grams of dinner.

This is their “We do not like the sound the lawnmower makes” pose. Can someone tell me what breed the chick on the right is? She is not cute (yet?). 😬

I believe that Violet knows my compost pile is out of control and is silently judging me for it. I just can’t pull a volunteer squash. I can’t do it! Shut up Violet!

I think #TinyEggs should become a Thing. Like #tinyhouses and #minihorses. Large eggs are so 2016. Over!

Inner beauty. Ruth Bader Ginsberg Silkie has lots of Inner Beauty.

One minute of chicks being chicks! Ineffective dust baths, chasing invisible bugs, sprinting nowhere, not respecting personal space! So fun!

Sweet Potatoes! Maybe this is the year? I usually grow the vines as deer salad bar but with our new deer fence being mostly finished perhaps this will be the whole potato year! (Lost all the apples while on vacation.) #SweetPotatoes #tubers #yardart #gardening #tinyfarm #groundcover #mushroom #yams #deersalad
This is now the most beautiful thing, that I did not plant, growing out of my compost pile. So fancy!

I did not get new chicks. These are the same babies…but so much bigger! They are now 4 weeks old and officially in the awkward teenage phase!

I’ve been waiting for this one! I had to pull a lot of vines but I saved this plant because this tomato was just a few days from ripe. Dinner is served!

I’m so lucky! Look at those aerating, fertilizing beasts! I live in Georgia where the earth is naturally hard, red clay so it takes a team to keep the dirt good.

Post vacation #garden #harvest. Looks like we’re having potatoes with every meal for a while. Too much rain this year has ruined most of the tomatoes but I might try to put more in to be ready in the fall.

Argh! She is the cutest! And her pips are pretty adorable too! The babies now have a playpen in the backyard that I can sit in with them. They like me more when I’m not reaching into their brooder from above like a predator. Learned that from IG!

Harvest time! I had to pull a lot of plants today. There has been too much rain and things were rotting. It always makes me sad to see a plant I’ve tended from babyhood go into the burn pile.

For the last day of #rallynorthamerica we hit the 33 degree banking at #talladega. Driving on that steep of an angle is an odd sensation and it’s hard to imagine passing someone on it. I was over 130mph down the back straight which is a bit windy with the top down. #mercedes #amg #c43

If there is an out of the way, hard to get to, beautiful place on the map then I am likely to want to hike there. This waterfall was further than I expected but lovely upon arrival.

Anyone can stay in a chain hotel but those don’t even have a steering wheel. And don’t even get me started about their lack of roosters under the floor. I mean how are you supposed to wake up without a 🐓 under your bed. #airbnb #rallynorthamerica #roadtrip #exploreamerica #tinyhouseliving #schoolbus #schoolbusconversion

Take that wind that tried to knock down all my corn stalks! I can still harvest it from the ground. Smallish corn on the cob – it’s what’s for dinner!

The compound sliding miter saw is completely unusable. As long as this teeny lizard wants to stay it will be a safe home for him. Welcome to the family!

I would like to proudly introduce you to The Dissenting Silkies, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sonia Sotomayor! Ruthie and Sonia are the first of my chicks to tell me their names. I am impressed with their dignity and judgemental nature.

When you’re putting for birdie after taking 20 years off from #golf you feel like hot stuff. Then you lose so many balls you have to pull the chute on 13… That sounds more like it
