The fields of yellow flowers go on forever! I bet they only last a few weeks. I'm so lucky I got to see them! (And a turkey, deer, eagle, ferret and snake!)

Somehow, just standing here, I became an accomplished fly fisherperson. Or maybe that is one too many viewings of A River Runs Through It.

Another with chickens! I think this one was a happy accident. I booked for the view and the chickens were a bonus!

Day 1 of - left Atlanta at midnight. Hit a pothole in the middle of the highway in Chattanooga hard enough to bend a wheel. Finished our 1200 mile drive to South Dakota with a wonderful front end vibration. We went to a falls in Sioux Falls. It looks better than it smells. The good part of vacation should start tomorrow.

1, 2, Ten million....
The blueberries start slowly but then produce like crazy! Right now it is just a handful to share with the chickens but I bet in a week there will be gallons!

I just mulched the whole garden to prepare it for my vacation. My recorded 90 minutes of Sport with 600 calories burned! The garden inspector is unimpressed.

Broody Rosie. This aggressively broody girl spent last night in the outside pen and is still 100% broody. She is currently spending night number two outside. Let's see how long it takes to turn off her insanity! She seems pretty committed.

Rosie is so broody she CAN'T EVEN. Watch for 20 seconds as she frantically scratches with a turkey tail, yells at me, then sprints away. Later she chased her sisters and shrieked the entire way back to the nesting box. So fun.

Went to a wedding, left with all the centerpieces. Can I grow peonies in the shade?

Might not be the best weather for Jesse's first night camping beyond our front yard but this is a beautiful spot with nice twisty roads coming in. This is a test run for our 6k Mile road trip in June.

Bantam Rule #22: You may hang the water high to avoid debris but you must also provide a step for petite chicken access!

Can a station wagon be a midlife crisis sportscar if it has 600hp? After almost a month under the knife erasing the evidence of it's early years on the mean streets of NYC it's finally ready.

Sonia is keeping a close eye on the crew as they dust bathe. Very serious business on the dirt mound today. There has been quite a bit of dust bath thievery. Must patrol.

My chickens have always been vampires. They avoid the sun! If I let them out during the day they will skirt the edges of the coop to stay in the shade. Except Rosie. Rosie has always been a sunbathing master! She seems to be teaching the others to appreciate a good soak. Big Red is glowing! Bryce is an awkward brontasaurus, but in the sun. Vitamin D on point!

One of these garden statues is an impostor! Hmmm...which one? I like to share my garden harvests but this guy is greedy and eating the green beans to the ground! Bad bunny! Adorably hop your cute little cotton tail out of my garden!
