homestead babies / chickens ducks & turkeys

         Getting ready for our little homestead!

2 of the lovely young lady chickens.

2 of the darling lil duckies!

This is our male turkey.

We got a trio of turkeys, a tom and two ladies. It should be easier to resist naming him Tommy, I will resist! I am very interested to watch these turkeys grow and become our friends. We have high hopes that they will aide us in insect control in our garden and I keep reading what great pets they make.

The ducks are so cute! We fill a giant bowl and watch them swim in the sunshine everyday. They are just darling and the youngest out of all these birds.

The chickens are very present and make eye contact! I look forward to loving them and collecting their eggs. Raising these babies is going to be so rewarding and fun!

a personal trick to summon super-power

Me & Mike in our Superhero states of being.



When I find myself in a situation where I need to really bring it and be intimidating (you know, like when I feel like I am being scoped out by some street urchins or banditos or something); I imagine that I am that guy above and Mike is that hyena! It totally works!! I just project as much as I can that Mike and I am them. This image serves us well. I think they are the perfect superhero duo flip side for Mike and me.



Mike & Me at any given 'regular' moment.



dogs on bikes

I love noticing patterns, trends and how certain things in life accumulate. Going through a folder of photos in my computer this morning, I found three pictures of dogs on bikes that make me smile.

 Love it!!! Little love looks like a Jack Russell Terrier and I'm not surprised! My jrt is a genius!

 Poodles are tricky characters. I bet this pal is ready to go without the training wheels!

Looks like another Terrier. What a doll baby!
