Happy Samhain!
Since 2009, when I visited… I came back stating, if I ever
live any where but Texas, it will be in Ireland. However,
that’s when we win the lottery!
In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through watching
videos of Bealtaine Cottage. During times of extreme stress with “life” - her soothing Irish
accent is what I need to hear!
And, she’s doing my plan! This is what I dream ~ my goal is ~ for
our west yard!
Oh, and I found her on Facebook as well! The Goddess Gardens!
Not until today, had I ever heard of Samhain!

Anyhoo...
Update on the planting…
I failed miserably not checking first what deer apparently love! A disastrous waste of money and
time and energy planting two Indian Hawthorns…
Since the culprits only chewed on the leaves, I’ll keep it
where it is, to see what happens in the spring! Maybe a planting of rosemary or
lavender around it will “hide” its smell!
So much to learn about…
The earth, nature, going Back to Eden.
And, bringing in chickens…
Over the past few months, and after spending numerous hours watching
YouTube videos and reading websites/blogs about keeping chickens, Lisa Steele
at Fresh Eggs Daily has the most informative guides to raising chickens
naturally! Her array of articles on Chicken Keeping Guide is
quite impressive! As I’ve mentioned in a previous post – Still Learning
– I love her two books I purchased/read …. great resources!
Okay…

So much to learn!
This article is a keeper!
Actually, I found several on
the same website, Abundant Permaculture, like:
and
Just
to name a couple!
Oh, and, Justin’s Youtube videos about chickens are amazing!

It Begins!
The decision has been made! We're getting chickens! But, not quite yet. We have a lot of preparing to do! Our goal - Spring 2018!
Future site of the permanent coop and run:
As it is right now, there is a Mesquite tree on the left, a compost bin, then a Crepe Myrtle Tree(?). We purchased the Crepe Myrtle as a "tree" but we're thinking it was incorrectly marked. It's a bush. We've kept it trimmed ~ to a certain existent. Oh well. I love it. When it does bloom, they are delicate white flowers.
I'm thinking the coop needs to be on the left side (west) with the run extending toward the east. We'll see...
Right now I'm gathering information, reading everything I can, watching the marvelous Youtube videos folks have shared, and asking lots of questions on the Facebook groups I've joined!
Stay tuned!
