WILL FORAGE FOR FOOD
When raising animals in the city, one has to rely on outside sources of feed (no back forty of hay here in LA).
DUCKY TALES
Sorta sad there’ll be no more fluffy butts (for awhile at least til we get a new batch of chickens come spring), but we are happy that they’ve integrated nicely with the chickens, ducks and even goats.
SATURDAY STROLL
After a busy week, boy we sure did look forward to our Saturday stroll with the goats. Saturday is our “Time Out” day in which, for 24 hours, we take ourselves off the clock and away from computers and the like. Nothing de-stresses and renews the spirit a body like a walk in nature with these creatures.
GOT MILK?
This week, Fairlight the foodie, gets up close and personal with a jar of peanut butter. Warning: the montage of photos are not yet rated and may not be suitable for folks who are drinking their morning coffee or tea while reading….
MUG SHOTS!
Oh, the personalities of the creatures here on the urban homestead – now we know what they did for entertainment in the “old days.” Forget cable, we got critters. Speaking of critters, like to send a BIG “Thank You” to Nor Cal homesteader Julia for passing along a dvd set of All Creatures Great & Small.

The other day, I twice caught Lady Fairlight napping in the sun and this is what transpired (hopefully this new photo sharing widget works for all those many browsers out there. Will be able to share photos [...]
GOATS IN LA
Photo courtesy: Brian Vander Brug Los Angeles Times The hills were alive with the sound of munching. In fact, the only things that seemed missing Monday when a herd of goats climbed up a weed-choked lot in the Bunker Hill high-rise district were Julie Andrews and the Von Trapp family singers. Leaders of the Los [...]
‘MATER SNATCHER
We are full of animal antics this morning here on the urban homestead. Never a day goes back with some silly antic pulled by our menagerie. Lady Fairlight snatches a tomato. Oh my, just look at that face! Guilty with pleasure. Yum, yum. Sheesh, Fairlight! Be a lady and close your mouth when you chew.
ANIMAL ANTICS
We really could have a whole site dedicated to the antics and shenanigans of our citified menagerie. It’s so fun to take pictures and add captions of what you imagine them saying/thinking. Ears flat – meaning don’t disturb, I am taking my afternoon nap if you don’t mind Yeah, that’s right. That’s what I said [...]
