Y’all, I just love how my husband thinks. He bought a couple of pounds of green grapes and LOVED them. So he went back, bought more, and canned them so we can have them this winter when we are craving a sweet snack. Truly, he’s a gem.

My yearly reminder to secure your s**t in your truck bed before getting on the road or the freeway.

This lack of responsibility on someone else’s part cost $1000 (the insurance company deemed it a “collision” and charged the deductible), but it could have cost my life.

Strap your stuff down…..

When your face is so badly swollen, your iPhone won’t even recognize you……

Had a little mishap with one of my hives over the weekend. I guess the hive stand started to sink into the ground a bit, causing it to lean. And the weight of the honey in the boxes finally made the whole thing crash down onto the ground. (I had been meaning to fix that whole situation, but procrastination got the better of me) Those bees were MAD.

Mr F&F rushed to the house to get me and I immediately suited up and went down to see what I could do. I was able to reset one deep box and the super, but one of the deeps was so full of honey that I couldn’t even lift it. While trying to remove frames to lighten the load, a couple of those little buggers found their way inside my suit and right to my face. This is only three stings: one on the tip of my nose, one on my cheek, and one on my jawline. But darn, those things hurt, itch, and the swelling is so intense!

Mr F&F suited up and helped and a dear friend/neighbor/beekeeper also came and helped get things back to some semblance of order. We’ll see if this hive recovers from this trauma of having their home crash to the ground. Hoping for the best. Preparing for the worst.

In the meantime, I’ll have to start remembering some passwords so I can access all those apps that use facial recognition…lol

Follow up to that huckleberry picking we did over the weekend. Mr F&F and I took a stroll into our woods and picked 5 cups of huckleberries. Sunday night, I soaked them overnight in my favorite Tempranillo, then Monday made THE most delicious jam.

Thank you for all your suggestions. We still have lots and lots of huckleberries on our property and my next plan is to make ice cream and syrup with them.
And of course, the chickens got some as a treat!

What other suggestions/ideas do you have for huckleberries?

Story Time:

How my morning started…..went out to feed my rabbit BEFORE having my coffee. That was my first mistake.

Didn’t bother wearing gloves. That was my second mistake.

Reached for the lid of the storage container without looking closely. Third mistake.

Grabbed the lid, but instead grabbed a fat slug. That was my fourth mistake.

Screamed (of course because ICK) and jumped back and slipped on the wet pavers. Fifth mistake.

Sat on my bottom on the wet pavers and LAUGHED, because I can’t take this stuff seriously.

Soooo, that’s how my day started. It’s gotta get better from here, right? Please tell me YES!

Anyway, here are a couple of dahlia pics at the end to cleanse the palate from the slug.

Would love your suggestions, ideas, recipes, etc for wild red huckleberries. We have A LOT this year on our property and I’d hate for them to go to waste, but have never picked them before. What do you do with yours?

Not only is it May 1st, but it’s Worldwide Naked Gardening Day! Hooray for getting out in the garden and getting those plants in the ground.

Okay, I actually don’t garden naked. But if I did, I’ll bet my neighbors would build a free fence for me!

Tis the season of cheese. Actually, every season is the season of cheese here at the F&F household. I LOVE cheese. All kinds of cheese. Can’t even choose a favorite. Just cheese….always cheese.

Gotta be honest, these days of only 8 hours of daylight are rough sometimes. They especially take a toll when the day is cloudy and gloomy. But…..there is light at the end of the tunnel. Longer days start in six days. And I’m ready for it!

How do you deal with these shorter days leading up to winter?

When you participate in a gift exchange and they just spend a minute on your profile to easily figure you out. Seriously, seeds, snacks, and beanies…those are some of my favorite things. But I’ll also happily welcome more chickens.

What would you love to receive in a holiday gift exchange?

I mean, if you don’t like birds, we can’t be friends. I want all the birds, all the time. Haha

Easy. Geese. She I was a kid at the park, those stinkin’ things chased after me when I went down to the lake to look at the water. Oddly, they don’t scare me. But that might changed if it happened again as an adult.

What about you? Been chased by an animal that isn’t a dog? Let me know in the comments.

How the crazy kids started off the New Year. You’re never too old to try something new. Just sayin’ #polarplunge #crazystartto2025 #straightofjuandefuca #yesitwascold #newyear2025 #grammyisoffherrocker😂

Shout out to Mr. F&F, y’all. This man is a gem. He builds, fixes, creates, and designs all my “ideas” for new farm critters. He travels wherever I want to go. He loves our family fiercely and boy do they love him back! Our dogs think they are our children. He listens when I vent, gently (and privately) corrects me when I’m wrong, lifts me up when I’m sad, and stands by my side when I walk through some crazy stuff. He has never, in our 24 years together, made me feel like I was anything other than an equal partner. He searched for me in the middle of the night when I got stuck in that bomb cyclone storm. After I was home safe the next day, he was out with his chainsaw helping neighbors clear roads and driveways. And for the past 10 days, he’s taken care of absolutely everything because I had surgery. Truly the best. Truly. The. Best. #faithandfarms #amazinghusband #mrfandf #thismanisagem #grateful #farmlife #pnwpoultry #pnwbombcyclone #crazychickenlady #chickenmama

The PNW just experienced a pretty significant weather event, called a “bomb cyclone” with heavy winds that took down trees and power lines. Our area was one of the hardest hit. We are fortunate that no trees went down on our property and no visible damage. But power is out and will probably be out for another few days. We have generators and are totally fine. Others, not so much. Funny story….I was at an appointment when the storm hit and wasn’t able to leave until much later than expected. It was 45 minutes away, but by the time I left, with the storm in full swing, I was unable to get home. All roads to our neighborhood were blocked with downed power lines and trees. We also live in an area of minimal cell service. I ended up having to find a spot to park and sleep in my car. My husband couldn’t reach me and tried to find me but couldn’t get past the blocked roads. Spent a somewhat cold night in my car, but had plenty of warm clothes and a heavy blanket. Makes me think again about those who are houseless and have to sleep in the cold, uneasy and afraid. My heart goes out to them. Our flocks are doing great, totally unaffected by the storm. Beehives still standing. Bunny and quail all fine. We are grateful for all we have. Grateful for our health. Grateful for our family. #faithandfarms #faithandfarmsherbs #herbinbackyards #chickenmama #crazychickenlady #happychickens #pnwpoultry #bombcyclone #farmlife

Struggling to make sense of things right now and see beyond the sadness and fear. These girls and boys soothe my mind and my heart. Time spent with them makes time seem to stand still, bringing a little bit of joy and light to an otherwise confusing, scary, dark place. Hoping for better days. Hoping for truth. Hoping…..
