2 of my hens are laying at the same time. They are having trouble laying, cause 1 would follow the other inside & outside the coop (it has 4 nesting boxes).

So I had to stand there and keep them separated.
Never thought I would be a Chicken Bouncer 😂

Lol Random fact. Freshly laid chicken eggs make really good hand warmers 😂. Put one in my pocket, now my hand's all nice and toasty.

Now, I just need a hen to lay one more egg in the morning, and then I'll be set for the cold mornings. 😆

If you find yourself repeatedly meeting similar individuals. And you find yourself being irritated or acting out of character; and only around that type of person.

It's time to Shadow Work & heal. Cause it will only keep on happening until you face it. 🙃😮‍💨

Saw a ball of brown fluff and a weird growl last night. Turns out I gained a new masked friend, a cute Raccoon. I need to keep my domesticated and wild friends both safe and sound.

So today, I will be reinforcing my chicken coop.

My camo pear! A singleton! This is what happens when you have a tree grafted with 4 different varieties blooming at 4 different times.

Didn't even know it was done ripening until now. 😂 Now, it's bon appetit!

So pretty. Was walking and saw a yard full of Autumn Flowering Crocuses. It was like walking into a fairy field. 😍

I was thinking of growing the saffron variety, but I might just grow many different varieties as well.

Found this absolutely gorgeous quilled card! 😍

Wanted to share it with you all!

Either way, Go Strawberry Go! 😂 Maybe they will be ready by Samhain

When you have a premonition dream and you can't make sense of what it's about. Then you start doing something and you remember that dream exactly.

...this is what my premonition was. Building a chicken run by myself 😂 Like why Spirit Guides!?

My kid broke the kitchen faucet. It turned into a geyser of hot water...water everywhere...

...My ADHD butt now has a really good reason to clean my kitchen...

I love planting new things. So I planted this cutie. But I don't remember what it is!! So now I have to go through my seed packs and see what it might be. I guess this is a different take on "seed hunting" 😂

I think it's a bean 😅

Ran out of blueberries. Went to a u-pick berries location with the family. So happy to be able to harvest local organic blueberries ❤️ Now I need to process them all. Half to the freezer, half to muffins 🤤

May need to go back again 😂

My very first flick of chickens has their first egg!!! It's so tiny and cute! The other two are small ceramic eggs so she knows where to lay.

Looking forward to seeing how many get laid this year. Proud of my lil flock.

😞 Was trellising a Native Creeping Pacific Blackberry, it was wild growing directly under my fence, and my neighbor's landscapers weed wacked it.

Will need to board the bottom of my fence so accidents like this won't happen again.

...I can't get upset. This stinker climbed up my trellis. Ate a hole in my squash flower and used it as its new home...It's both cute and ingenious...

I relocated its new home to my compost pile. I made sure it's flower home was out of the sun.

Awe! My young hen is practicing her Egg Song. I seriously thought she was laying an egg. Nope, she's just standing there singing away. Got my hopes up and everything 😂.

Time to start preparing the nest boxes and calcium supplements

Oh, well that's good that they aren't there! Makes me curious what possible invasive plants you have over there.
Good guess! Unfortunately, it's more of a laxative that I know of.
I'm actually using it as dressing oil for my Spellwork. It's to bind a spell to a target, like healing.

Amythyst Rivers @amythystrivers.bsky.social · Aug 15

Oh no English Ivy! Another beautiful annoyance.
I unfortunately understand, cause I have some of that as well.

I wish you lots of luck and healthy back muscles!

Had to pull these ones up by the roots. Hedge Bindweed, a beautiful invasive nuisance. But makes for a good Witchy Ingredient!

Can you guess what the roots will be used for? 😁 Hint, it goes in a bottle.

BlackBerry season!!! 🤤 Going to make some blackberry waffles. I'm going to steadily replace the invasive Himalayan with native varieties, but for now, I'm going to enjoy the abundance.

Eating invasives to slow down the spread ❤️💚
