A blog where I rant about different things. Book, comics, videogames or whatever. I will rant about anything I find worthy to rant about. I hope this will be entertaining, as this is clearly for my own ramblings. Updated when I feel like it. Thursday, March 22, 2012. I love science fiction! I just love it! Especially the part where humans have been travelling in space for a long time! Saturday, January 7, 2012.

From the dirt to our plate; the trials and realities of first-time farm ownership.

For the Rest of Our Childhood. Chicken Garden and the Almost Over Christmas Staycation. Poor Rosie and the Real Life Farmer Lady.

My adventures, mostly in northern illinois, and mostly very simple. So where, oh where, are my seed catalogs? But so far, not a seed catalog in sight. So I have to settle for tending to my indoor gardening. And lo and behold, one of the Sansevieria francisii plants is gifting us with a flower stalk for January. The little drops of pollen can be seen in the close-up below.

Backyard chickens and a little gardening. Asymp; Leave a comment. Lately when we let the chooks out to free range, they head straight to our empty flower pots. The hens discovered the empty pots, which still have potting soil in them, and thought they were fun new toys. They scratch and peck at whatever tiny bugs they are finding in them, then they lay down and take a nice dirt bath.
