I dont have any oregon grapw / mahonia holly on my property. But i've been really wanting to plant some especially because i have some shady spots.

Well today at work we harvested some berries and then used them to dye cloth handkerchiefs. They turned out amazing!! So beautiful.

One more reason to plant some of these native beautiful plants.

Got my acceptance letter today for OSU to do post bacc. I'll be taking basics like physics and ochem and calculus I think. Which also means I can start my application for vet school. AND on the 29th i have orientation for volunteering at the bird alliance of portland formerly known as adoubon society. Even tho birds arent real. Feels like a weird but cool thing to do the year I turn 40.....

Welp. My car is toast. Sigh.

If you or anyone you know has a car for sale, especially a van/minivan/anything with 3rd row seating....please let me know!

Looking for something family friendly in the Portland area. Very much appreciated.

In the meantime. Tomorrow we're riding trimet to Lirael's preschool. Its a short trip. And Perri and I will hike around the park while shes at school.

Nothing helps ya get those steps in better than being carless. I do feel grateful that almost everything we have and need is walkable. Sad to miss Ursa's violin lessons. And complicated for work. But we're gonna figure it out!

Please reach out if you have any leads! Thank you ❤️

Making my way thru the pruning map. Roses. Fig. And 2 plum trees done. I even tackled the wisteria. Which. I love the wisteria. Its beautiful and adds a natural element to the catio. But man. Pruning it is a pain and it tries every year to crawl under my siding. I might have to strat tying off the runners to the porch so it stops reaching. Anyone have better advice?

Really just trying to get rid of the skunk under my house before the snow hits and it hunkers down. Waking up to skunk smell at 3am every night for 3 nights has not been fun. I sprinkled some repel all around the perimeter of the house and tossed some in the crawl space. Repel all has putrid essence in it that has worked pretty well for me with other pests and even raccoons so hopefully the skunks get the nessage and move on. Our neighborhood has a ton of skunks. I see them roaming around all the time. My house got hit like a few months ago and ot was bad. But now its been nightly. Its worse than when my dog got sprayed 2 years ago. Fingers crossed. 🦨🦨🦨🦨🚫🚫🚫🚫❄️❄️❄️❄️

Pruning Map. Today and tomorrow its not raining I'm hoping to tackle the wisteria and grapes. And move on the the apple and walnut. One of my plum had a rotten branch that fell last month and I need to cut up and clean that off the porch as well. Santa, please bring me a small electric chainsaw lol.

Lost our first chicken to a racoon last night. I didnt shut up the coop and it took one of our barred rocks. Sad. The ironic thing is I bought a trap and motion sensor lights and hadnt set it up yet. Major face palm.

Other tips on deterring racoons??

Put the bunny out for yard time and the chickens were VERY curious.

My otiginal plan was to plant some fall crops in the front yard. And set the chickens out in December. Well. They had other ideas. So. The other tomato bed and kids garden will be for winter crops. Just some little root veggies. Carrots. Radish. Parsnip. Maybe spinach or kale is I have left over seeds.

In the meantime these naughty girls rule the yard until next spring. Hopefully they dont terrorize poor little Arty Bunny.

Our apple tree is out of control. I havent been great about picking the fruit. But I saw this chart and was like woah! Thats probably why I keep thinking theyre not ripe. Our tree is granny smiths. But primarily in our house we eat Fuji. Just. Complete opposite sides of the apple flavor spectrum. Time to get out the big ladder and do some picking today I guess.

Update on the splayed legs. I tried the bandaids but their little legs were too little. So today I switched to pipe cleaners and one is already up with its legs under it. The other is still flopping like a fish out of water but both are getting around the brooder. Eating sleeping and pooping like babies should. Hoping they'll be upright by Monday.

Baby Quail. 8 total today. So tiny. So cute.

Got our first egg today. 🥚❤️ #chickens #eggs #chickeneggs #bufforpington #surprise #chickenfarmer

Peel an egg in under 30 seconds. Quail eggs have a thinner shell than chicken eggs. But they have a thicker membrane underneath which makes them extremely easy to peel when hard boiled. #QuailEggs #Peel #HardBoiledEggs #QuailFarmer #HelpfulTips #Eggs #Hacks #Breakfast

Friend or foe? Hard to say. For my garden definitely an arch nemesis. For cutesness tho? Wow. Squishy friend. #Snail #Cute #Frenemy #Humor #Gardening #UrbanFarm #Conservation #Ecology #Mollusk #Silly #Poop #ItPoopedOnMe

First harvest of basil from my kitchen counter garden. Bruschetta burgers from my @bobsburgersfox cookbook. Watch the full video on youtube! #Basil #Harvest #BobsBurgers #Gardening #Cooking #HomeCook #Herbs #Bruschetta

Maybe I can ask for a refund since this chicken is such a turkey! #chicken

Just hanging out with my girls today. Its so cold outside I let them explore the laundry room. They seem to be getting less skittish of me and I just love them so freaking much. Chickens are magical. #Chicken #bufforpington #barredrock #BabyChicken #ChickenFarmer #UrbanFarmer #Cute #Love follow me on instagram and tiktok for more shenanigans @silverspotfarm

I could not resist the baby chicks today. I already love them so much. They will temporarily be in the dog crate with a hot water bottle until they can be moved out to the barn. 4 buffs and 4 rocks. They are as adorable as they are loud! Probably need to cool it with the animal collecting after this. But still. I cant wait until these girlies give us eggs. #chicken #babychickens #chicks #farming #urbanfarming #backyardfarm #backyardflock #cute #floof #fluffy #cheepcheep
