Gardens & Nature: August 24th, 2026

This week was my daughter’s birthday week, so I had a few busy days celebrating sweet 16! Our woods walks and gardens were fairly quiet, but I still managed to see some new "life birds" for my Merlin app. Late summer on the homestead is just so peaceful right now. Soon we’ll be cutting and stacking firewood to prep for winter! Enjoy! Amy

This week brought unexpected surprises, new blooms, and incredible discoveries during my walks in the woods. Best of all, it is finally time to start planting for the fall harvest! Enjoy! Amy

This week was hot, plain and simple. It also started off really smokey after getting a North East wind to blow all the wildfire smoke our way. We kept to the house most of the time while the smoke hung out but it cleared out nicely by the weekend! We caught some great action on our trail-cams and the Merlin app, explored the local plants on our woods walk, and checked in on the garden harvests. Enjoy! Amy

This past week we again had some great videos from the trail-cameras in the woods! Shane shared a delicious cobbler recipe and more harvests are coming soon. Enjoy! Amy

Livestock Edition: August 2026

Some sad news took us a bit off guard this past month, but on a brighter note, breeding season is around the corner! Time to start planning breeding groups and welcome our newest addition to the flock. Enjoy! Amy
