It has been a good week, I am having better days and I have hope. It is nearly Spring, we know this because our birds are telling us. The other day we had 7 chicken eggs and on different days found three duck eggs!
Flicker’s Lair BlogArchive for February, 2010With a little help from my friendsFebruary 28th, 2010 by HeidiAdventures of an AardvarkFebruary 25th, 2010 by HeidiOn the weeks when there is a Bloggography challenge I like to try and combine the theme for You Capture with the Bloggography subject. This week that gave me Shapes and Aperture. Shetland fleeces for saleFebruary 22nd, 2010 by HeidiLiving on a single salary has really taken some getting used to and I don’t know I can say for certain that we really have yet. We are still sure of our decision for me to stay home and mind the farm, but we really need to get the farm to start contributing to rather than draining finances. Time off!February 21st, 2010 by HeidiThis week has been nice as Steve has had a few days off to help me get myself back together. It has really helped to have him here, especially with the dogs, and we have had a lot of fun running around the field with the dogs. Coffee & Chaff!February 19th, 2010 by HeidiA little while back I came across this article from Mother Earth News about using coffee chaff as litter for chicken coops, and I loved the idea. It is a form of upcycling, and even better tends to be free! Dog Racing!February 18th, 2010 by HeidiThis week’s You Capture theme is kisses and I must admit I was thinking I was going to be missing a challenge. My first award!February 17th, 2010 by HeidiToday I got my first blogging award. This may seem silly to some, but I put a lot of work into my blog, and Flicker’s Lair as a whole, and it is really gratifying to know that there are people ‘out there’ who are reading and enjoying my efforts.

Knitting Olympics!February 15th, 2010 by HeidiHaving learnt the basics of knitting it was about time that I started a ‘for real’ project, but I just couldn’t decide what I wanted to make. Limited time, inspiration and funds left me not managing to start anything. While watching the Olympics …February 14th, 2010 by HeidiI thought I should distract myself from the Olympic coverage to post an update. It has been quite a week with kittens, coffee, court, doctors, barrels, ice carving, snow sculptures, an owl, Olympics & Olympic knitting! Some of them will require a post all of their own, which will be coming up in the next week, but for now here is a quick taster. Work!?!?!?February 12th, 2010 by Heidi |
