Natural Suburbia Giveaway

Just the other day, I noticed that I’d passed the 900 mark when I was looking at my blog posts in my dashboard. I started blogging in 2008 and it has been a wonderful journey. I initially began my blog, to document our homeschooling journey and compile a visual diary for our family to look back on. I really didn’t realise that I would meet so many amazing people. I have connected with lovely people and made many friends on similar paths along the way. Even though we are separated by great distances across the globe, it is such a joy and comfort to be able to ‘visit’ these spaces of inspiration and have a window into the lives of others so far away.

Thank you so much to everyone who visits here and for all your lovely comments…

To celebrate 900 blog posts on Natural Suburbia, I would like to offer this giveaway to you…

 

Giveaway:

1 Maxwell Williams mug, to sit and sip your tea while you knit.

1 Skein of naturally dyed aran weight Merino wool, dyed with cochineal, (here’s the cochineal dyeing post)

Our Little Homestead

I really am grateful for our little homestead in the middle of suburbia. Today has been a warmer day so outside we went to do some work on the chicken coop. The young chickens have grown now so we thought it was a good time to integrate them among the older girls who live in the main chicken house. We opened the fence, took out the small wooden house and moved it away to the wall and now the little chickens live in the main chicken house too. We decided the smaller house can be an egg laying spot out in the garden for them…
 

The Violets are here… I love them…

Last week we noticed our number of eggs per day were down, on closer inspection of our grounds, we found a nest behind our water storage tank with 10 eggs in it. I found this one there the other day… They really are free range birds…

This is our porcupine aloe in flower…

Kye is watching the girls scratching around the spot where the small chicken house used to be.

One of our hens laying next to the egg laying box:) She is trying to figure out what I am doing with my camera. Look how she has turned her head:)

Walked down to our veggie garden and picked some fresh leeks for leek and potato soup for lunch today.

And Charlie overseeing all the goings on around the homestead…
