It took about an hour on a gravel road to get back in here but we had a great campsite just north of Yellowstone in the Custer Gallatin National Forest last night.
Somehow, just standing here, I became an accomplished fly fisherperson. Or maybe that is one too many viewings of A River Runs Through It.

Great drive through Big Horn National Forest yesterday.
Sea creature or alpine meadow flower? I think it could go either way!

Chilling out watching the sun set on Devil’s Tower. Waiting for a close encounter 😎
Another #airbnb with chickens! I think this one was a happy accident. I booked for the view and the chickens were a bonus!

Our backyard for this evening
We’re here on official business. The chain on the gate is to keep the cows out…
Similar to my Sprinter van, I’ve modified my E63 to look like it might be an FBI vehicle… More antennas = more better
Roadtrip sights! This is a fantastic park.

Day 1 of #roadtrip2018 – 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 #fitbit recorded 90 minutes of Sport with 600 calories burned! The garden inspector is unimpressed.

Making a few chips today. Loving my new @carvesmart grip-n-rip jaws for holding these round 3/4 inch thick steel plates.
Oak Leaf Hydrangea. They came with the house and just keep growing!

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?

No signal, lots of views! Highly recommending campsite 28 at #LakeMoomaw in Virginia.

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. #georgewashingtonandjeffersonnationalforest
We pick up free mulch from the city and sometimes it comes with treasures! This differently-abled #Batman was unearthed while planting the second round of potatoes today. If I plant him will be grow more superheroes?

Oopsie! Sorry Sonia! I didn’t mean to pull your super masculine long, luxurious, curly tailfeather.

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!

I was supposed to be working but instead I wandered off to take pictures in the client’s garden. Then we talked gardens for 20 minutes. That is not part of my job.

Who’s a crazy broody? You are! Are there any eggs on that bench? No? Then go walk around! Lunatic.

Dear Carpenter Bee,
You’re an idiot.
Best Wishes,

Skills alert: The chickens perfectly hollowed out this #butternutsquash! Perhaps they have a career in pumpkin carving? Birdhouse gourds? Breadbowl soup? So talented!

Becky lost her Poof in a pecking order reshuffling. To minimize additional feather plucking I sprayed her with #bluekote. End result: the most punk rock chicken.

This week’s tool I didn’t realize I needed in my life. #safetythird
Weeding is so much more rewarding when you have chickens! They are so excited to see me coming with a pitchfork full of weeds. But terrified when I lift it over the fence. Never lift things!

#tbt One year ago was our last day at La Batterie Villa in Saint Lucia. One of the greatest #Airbnb houses we’ve rented. Anyone going to Saint Lucia should try to rent this place. Room for 3 or 4 couples, fully staffed, amazing views, right down the ‘road’ from #jademountainresort. We’ll definitely go back there again in a few years. #stlucia #labatterievilla #jademountain @labatterie.saintlucia
The white #rhodadedron is new this year but look at that fresh growth! It’s going to be huge!

Bryce and her buddy Gretchen have chosen to go broody together, in the same box. Can you see the psycho in her eye? Crazy broodies!

I hate that I have lettuce long before I have tomatoes, peppers, broccoli or anything else to make a salad. Then, by the time the toppings grow, it is too hot for lettuce! Poor timing Nature!

Trade! I get some Jumbo and mini eggs. You get some slightly past its prime lettuce. Good business for everyone!
