Just trying to get a picture of a gorgeous #PolishChicken and I get not one, but two #Silkie photobombers! Sonia the #EvilRoo is always around when I get close to a hen but Donna was an unexpected surprise!

We employed the “one-for-you, one-for-me” method of hosta splitting and now we have a whole bed full of deer lettuce, I mean hostas! The yard is about 85% fenced now so perhaps we have a chance. Welcome to #zone7b hostas! I hope you like it here.

Not yet little pepper! First, grow your leaves and stems. Then you can grow your flowers and fruits.

Evil monsters. I’m definitely not getting any broccoli this year since it is hard to grow without ANY leaves. Can you see that Glo is actually standing on top of the red leaf lettuce? She also kicks it to shred it up for easier eating. Very helpful, you jerk.

The Broody Bunch is recruiting new members. I now have three furious floofs: Ruthie the #Silkie, Glo the #oliveegger and Bryce the #velociraptor. Let’s see who’s next!

It’s an Easter miracle! This wild bunny let me get incredibly close. She must know it is her special day. What a cutie!

Fancy new addition to the front flower bed. We picked it for the pretty foliage but then it went and created this amazing lily! Nice work!

It has begun! I managed to separate this attractive wedge from the giant wheel and will be taking it to work to “share.” I also had my first taste of the #thomasvilletomme and it is delightful! Firm, but not hard. Tangy, sharp, creamy…I didn’t know what I’m saying. It’s delicious! Thank you @sweetgrassdairy!

Gather ’round people and let me tell you a tale of great victory and kindness from the internet. This is a 6 pound wheel of cheese. I won it on Instagram. Yes, Instagram has helped me secure a wheel of cheese so large I can barely heft it for a photo! In the days to come I will show you the many ways I can use 6 pounds of cheese. I will be thankful every day to @sweetgrassdairy for choosing me for this great honor and to @instagram for connecting us in cheese fandom.

Today I picked 6 gallons of strawberries and this bowl of tops is all that is left! I made jam, muffins, macerated some for shortcake and froze enough for the rest of the year. I find that strawberries are more trouble than they are worth to grow when I can pick high quality berries just a few miles away. Also, #WashingtonFarms has excellent strawberry ice cream! Now to give the chickens a gift…tops!

I removed Bryce from her zero eggs and set her down to remove Glo from her zero eggs and Bryce remained frozen in place, exactly as I set her down. Completely frozen, wing dangling, puffy and furious. What a drama queen! Broody idiot.

Hell hath no fury like a broody moved. Look at the crazy eyes on these two! Glo and Bryce are absolutely ridiculous about their broodiness. When I take them out they walk around for a while, muttering the whole time about how much they hate me, then they have a complete freak out with screeching and flapping and then sprint back into the coop. Rinse and repeat.

#tbt taken almost exactly 4 years ago. Built for the 1958 worlds fair this is a 335ft tall iron crystal at 150 billion times magnification. You can go up in it if you find yourself in Brussels.

Kahlo needs to tell you about her new diet plan. She’s been having some trouble with her food boob. It’s…big. Like BIG. And it stays that way. So, we discussed #weightwatchers but who has time for points? She’s just not into #southbeach or #keto. #PlantBased is her go-to but we aren’t getting results. So, she knows it’s a little #basic, but she been trying #IntermittentFasting. Every week or two she takes two days off food to fully empty her crop. It’s two days at the spa (garage), away from her sisters, but it’s worth it if we can keep the #foodboob in check. We’re also looking into #cropbras of anyone has suggestions. Word of advice: Googling “crop bra” gets you very short shirts. Googling “chicken crop bra” gets you very short shirts with chickens on them. Not what we need. While we work on this issue Kahlo will only be posting her headshots from her modeling portfolio. She doesn’t want a bunch of followers who are only here for her boob. #instafamous

Jesse and I will be up before dark to hit Caffeine and Octane tomorrow. We’ll be out raising money for Camp Sunshine. If you can’t make it we’d love a donation (link in bio). We’ll be up front in the AMG Private Lounge area.

Broody rage!
Bryce is a little intimidating when she is in a good mood. Her broody mood is somewhere between maim and murder. Total eggs she is actually sitting on in the nesting box? Zero. Amount of blood I’ve lost trying to remove her from said box? More than zero.

I don’t want to brag BUT I grew this onion in my kitchen, totally organically and free of substrate. It looks fantastic and I am going to plant it in the garden with the other onions right now!
But Jesse, you say, didn’t you really just leave a store bought onion in a bowl on the counter for two months and finally decide you had to do something about it and are planting it outside because you feel guilty about food waste?
Both are possible ways to look at this situation. You say tomato, I say tah-mah-to, either way it’s a pretty onion.

When I pulled out the remnants of the winter garden I gave it to the chickens all at once. It was pretty much a forest of snacks. I would like a forest of snacks. (And kale is not a snack for me!)
