This week, with time-stamps
Sleeping chickens, feeling into creativity and planting the seed for my first herbal event.
Hello! Welcome to The Beautiful Chaos - my personal journal of smallholding and renovating adventures as an unschooling family of six. I write about things that are important to me - Nature, Naturopathy, self-sustained living, health and homes, organic gardening and raising animals. Plus other things that make me who I am, and are a part of my story. As a free subscriber you can read the introduction to this week’s words. To read it in its entirety, and access my full archive, back story plus all additional resources available here (which you can read about in the about page) please consider becoming a paid subscriber. For less than the cost of a coffee and a fancy pastry you will have access to so much extra content and will be supporting my work so I can keep creating MORE of this for you. Thank you x
Monday
I’m ankle deep in soggy hay and chicken shit cleaning out the coop. We had 24 hours of non-stop-rain and the girls are not happy. By means of apologising for the weather I’m giving their home a super spring clean, sprinkling fresh citronella leaf in their nest boxes along with clean straw. I fed them bacon bits this morning as a treat, added a splash of ACV to their drinker and have potted them a lavender rosemary tree by their door to nibble at and keep their guts in tip top shape.
