Here is Fluffy, named by our 13 year old neighborhood friend Tim. Fluffy is a favorite among everyone, she is calm, loving to all the birds, lets everyone snuggle into her feathers and I bet she will lay the most eggs.

Trip to the cabin

This last weekend we dragged the little boat-boat down to Homer to head to the cabin with Ashley and Scott. Once again we won the jack pot on weather and enjoyed sunshine on the beach. One day while eating a picnic lunch on the beach a little black bear wondered upon us, we were both and he scampered away. Seth saw a Mama bear and her two cubs playing in the grass, lots of eagles, seals following us in the rowboats and about 5 rafts of 40 otters. Besides lots of wildlife we did some great clamming and mussel gathering, looking under rocks became a favorite, Kerry in honor of you I will put up a picture of a mini peanut worm, everyone else- sorry this is one gross unusual creature.

When Seth and I came back we became parents to four chicks, only four of the 20 eggs hatched and from the smell in the incubator it seems that is all we will be getting. This weekend Mom is coming into town and Seth is building a coop, not to mention solstice celebrations and U.S playing against England ( I don't think we have much of a chance.)

Till next time- enjoy your mid June.

June 1st means lots to do.

You'd think with school out things would start to slow down around here, nope. Since our return from Homer over Memorial day I have been planting the garden, trading perennials and planning my booth for the Farmer's market on Saturday. I've been taking classes through the school district and trying to train for tonight's 12K race through downtown.

The weather has finally turned, almost 2 solid weeks of sun has turned to gray but this picture above makes it seem like gray isn't so bad. After Saturday things should quiet down and Seth and I can work on our chicken tractor, t minus 10 days till 20 eggs hatch and we will need a safe place for the flock.

Just some photos from Memorial Day Weekend

Spent Memorial Day across the bay from Homer at a yurt on a beautiful sandy beach in the sun. Watched otters and seals, ate many cookies and enjoyed a little summer freedom. Hope your 3 day weekend was relaxing as well.
