The good and the bad
The bad part about keeping chickens: looked out the window this morning and saw a rat run across the roof of one of the pens. (Note to self, must get less lazy cat).
The good part about keeping chickens: just went outside, collected three eggs and scrambled ’em for lunch.

Seasons and changes
We’ve had some pretty major changes here at the farm over the last 2 months. We welcomed a son into the world in late March – a beautiful (if slightly late) equinox gift. I had a lovely natural and very quick birth with an utterly fabulous midwife and student midwife attending.
We also lost our most dedicated blog reader – my Grandma passed away just over two weeks after our new baby arrived. My Grandma was a very special lady and we were very sad to see her go.
There is a terrible bittersweet beauty in how seasons change and the wheel of life turns: babies are born and people die, and we are all – every one of us, animal and human alike – just a part of the cycle. There is no stopping it; life grows and declines and the wheel turns.
Goodbye Grandma, I will miss you.
