Just Dreaming

Oh, the things I've been dreaming of for the yard!


Chickens. Clucking and scratching and eating bugs and weeds and table scraps. And with all that, egg production, too. And I'm not afraid of the prospect of eating chickens after they are done laying. I could go for some home-raised chicken broth.


Composting. Putting yard waste and shredded junk mail and other scraps to good use? Yes, I think I will.


More vegetable garden space. I'd like to grow a lot more food than we currently are able to. That means more raised beds, and maybe some container gardening too.


Rabbits. And/or other small meat animals. Yes, I am thinking about the possibilities of raising our own meat.

Just some ideas I've had floating around...
