chercat: Take a Peek at our Week

We heralded in the first days of summer here in Maine with bright sunshine and flowers everywhere! We have ten healthy babies - chicks and ducklings - who celebrate their three-week birthday this weekend.

The garden has been pretty much neglected between all the travel I've been doing lately and my obsession with our new Littles, but I did manage to get out there and harvest all the garlic scapes. Sauteed in a bit of olive oil and seasoned with sea salt and a little pepper, they were delicious.

I got the DIY bug, so I used the cool Dremel hand saw my husband gave me last Christmas and ripped apart a pallet or two and made myself a cute rustic tray and also a painted sign for the coop. I love being creative and crafty - and DIYing is how I relax and blow off extra steam.

In other news, two new episodes of my TV show will start airing next week! I'll share the links for them both so you can watch online if you don't live in the Maine/New Hampshire viewing area, and I'm excited to hear what you all think of them. In the meantime, take a peek at our week!
