    Embrace the Bare Face

    When I complained about how hard it was to drop weight, my doctor scoffed and said, "Then just lose five pounds. NO excuses. ANYBODY can lose five pounds." I took the advice, and it was easier, both physically and psychologically, than I thought it would be - and it felt good to make even that...

    Things you wish you could say

    I prefer to shovel sand in my flip flops instead of the additional snow predicted for this weekend. I wish I could say that the weather agrees with me ...

    Review by 'MROO' in article 'Chicken Math Explained'

    Probably the best explanation of Chicken Math I've seen. It's well written and the pictures fit beautifully. The best part is that the explanation explains the hazards. and why we fall for them, without laying on the guilt. A very good read ... and fun, to boot!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Mine go full-on frenzy mode when there are greens to be had. It's nuts! Even though they get them regularly, you'd think they hadn't seen greens in ages!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Beet greens never go to waste, here! I saute with a little butter or olive oil and salt and they simply disappear!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I would still show up... with a bottle of salad dressing tucked into my spare socks!

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, February 17th, 2026

    Our crusty ice sits on top of a layer of snow, or more accurately, our melting snow freezes over at night, leaving a crusty top perfect for falling through!

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Thanks! I LOVE my Nannies! From what I understand, they're hard to come by in Canada. It took us forever to get them here, too. When we first started looking, they were on the Livestock Conservancy's Critical list - Fewer than 500 breeding birds in the United States, with five or fewer primary...

    Help identifying these bantams please!

    I'm in Maryland and I travel occasionally to see family in Elkins & Poling. Sounds like a road trip to me!

    Help identifying these bantams please!

    Since most of the other birds in the flock were rose combs, it's likely a mix where single and rose combs were crossed to get the spangles. Since the rose comb is dominant, you were wise to get a pair where both birds have nice single combs. While it's not always a guarantee, you're more likely...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Now that I can collect regularly again, we seem to be settled at four a day at the moment. My Sapphire Gem pullet is consistently laying every day. One of my younger Nankin pullets is doing a darned good job of keeping up with her, while another is just starting to lay teeny-tiny treasures...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    HaHa for the "bigger boots" comment, not the "more snow" situation!

    Dang. Wouldn't it be nice if a trade really could work that way? ... sigh ...
