Farm Girl

I have been sort of obsessing over the farm lifestyle lately.  I have decided that I will become, along with my sweet handsome boyfriend, an urban farmer.  We have our three chickens, which I love.  Love love love.  They're going to start laying eggs any day now.  And we started a little veggie garden on my porch, which will turn into a raised bed garden next summer.  I'm going to be a farm girl.

I'm really good at catching chickens.

So along with this new farm girl persona, I've become obsessed with chickens and chicken related paraphernalia.  I bought this little egg basket for when our hens start laying eggs.  It's hanging out on my fella's dining room table for now.

 I found a few chicken related items here in Gualala (where I'm on vacation for the week) and some online.  Enjoy!

We walked around town and found some chicken art.  Unfortunately I can't recall the name of the gallery, let alone the name of the artist!  But you can find these in Gualala!

More to follow soon!  Happy farming!

Canning is making a comeback.  Everywhere you look, new enthusiasm in pop culture and advertising focusing on the home-canned lifestyle.  I love it.  So I did a little search on one of my favorite sites... Etsy!!

I'm determined to learn how to can.  Matt has an enormous blackberry bush in his back yard and we've been picking the berries and collecting them.  I think we'll have to can some, and then bake with the others.

I think the Ball Canning and Preservation site is going to be helpful.  I'll have to take pictures when I begin the canning process.  I have a feeling it's going to be lovely!  And pickles are next.  I love pickles!
