    Wasn't very big, just 26 by 41. If it isn't used for a baby (it's very lightweight), I figured a little girl could wrap her dolly in it. Took about 6 weeks to finish. I worked on the squares while I was traveling on business. When I used up the yarn, I sewed it together with a sort-of pattern!

    Another sweater made just in case I had a granddaughter. Could be for a girl or boy, but alas I only have grandsons! Not that I'm complaining, they do help with chores around here. Especially anything to do with driving the tractor!

    One example of what I do during bad/cold weather when I can't go outside and chase chickens. I used up leftover fingering yarn for the donation box at church for this blanket. I'm sure there will be a new little one that could use this.

    My grandson Morgen wanted an elephant hat for colder weather and using leftover yarn and clear plastic buttons for bubbles, I pulled off what he wanted!

    I went out to the coop during my early morning routine to check on critters and get them ready for another hot and dry day. This is what I discovered! I wondered why the chickens weren't drinking from this waterer. By the way, it's made its home here and the chickens leave it alone so it's as...

    The fenced in chicken yard I confine the chickens in to finish laying their eggs in the morning is chickie gulag from now on! They are outside now carrying on about being let out to begin their free-range foraging for the day. Once the cheeky Wyandottes figured out that the vegetable garden is...

    Great article!! Very timely since it is that time of year when things start growing! I have most of those weeds (especially weeds), herbs and flowers in my garden, backyard and pastures. I noticed I don't have bindweed around my apple trees anymore, in the chicken yard or in my garden (when I...

    Very time and well written. Recently had a wakeup call when I could see the Marshall fire here in Colorado and began planning what I would need to do in case of evacuation. Although I was not affected by that fire, it made me think how critical it would be to quickly and safely gather all the...

    Suggestions in re: These Ventilation Cartoons?

    These renditions of life in the ventilated chicken coop are exactly what I needed! I needed a good laugh this morning! I can't wait until the depictions of a hot coop! (BTW They have a fan, all windows are open and they get ice in their raised water fountains. They like to hang out by the horse...

    Hello from Tarryabit Farm

    About 6 years ago I had this whole retirement plan put together that I wanted to execute so I could leave my job in technology and focus on my dream of finding a small farm to replicate what I had as a child with my grandparents. It had to be a place (1) near my grandchildren (done), (2)...

    Comment by 'Tarryabit' in article 'The Egg song, it’s not about the egg; it’s an escort call.'

    I always wondered why the hens sounded off when they were laying eggs. I figured it was to boast about laying an egg to the other hens. Sometimes the other hens would chime in. First time it happened, I had to run and make sure nothing horrible was happening. Now that I have a rooster, I'll...
