Saying goodbye
I don’t think that the slaughtering of our animals for meat is very pleasant. I really like our animals, and when we had Daisy slaughtered last week, I couldn’t help feeling a bit sad. Daisy was born here, and over the past three years I’ve loved watching her grow and graze the property. I loved […]
Jade
I think I promised to write about the bunnies, but as I look through the camera roll on my phone, I can’t find any photos of them. Instead, I can see lots of photos of our new kitten, Jade. I had been thinking of getting another cat for quite a while. I’ve been missing Naigee, […]
Chicken shenanigans
Well. Let’s talk about the birds, shall we? My beloved chickens and ducks! [rollseyes] We have so many chickens. And the door of the coop broke in the wind, and hasn’t been fixed, and we have chickens *everywhere!* I don’t want to show you the mess they’re making on our deck, or the way they […]

The easiest muffins you’ll ever make
Hello! I haven’t posted on here for a long time. It’s not that I’ve nothing to say: I keep thinking of blog post ideas. I think it’s a time thing. And an energy thing. And the thing where you’d like a few moments to yourself so you can write, before you get too tired. […]
2016 Goals
And this is the time of year that I set myself some goals and publish them on my little blog. It holds me accountable. It makes me want to achieve the things I’ve set out to do. Grow more food. Each year we are getting closer to our goal of living sustainably on our […]
2015
June 2015 It has been a good year! For Georgia, 2015 was her final year of primary school, a bittersweet concoction of emotion. She represented her class on the SRC for the second time and worked on the school’s magazine committee. The grade 6s had their school camp in Melbourne, which she loved. Our […]
