Amity and Mrs. Beasley are always the first to return to the roost mid afternoon. These divas aren’t not big fans of impromptu photo shoots. #divalife #chicken #farmyard #chickensofinstagram #homesteadinglife #vancouverisland

St. Francis watches over our little animal family. #stfrancis #animalfamily #farmlife #sooke #homestead

Homemade Mandarino and Wild Berry and Plum liqueur. Italians have a tradition of sharing a small glass of liqueur when visitors drop by. Is it wrong to do the same thing even when people don’t drop by? #askingforafriend #wildfoods #homemade #homesteadinglife #liqueur #homebrew #italianfood

This sweet little fella was enjoying a sunny break from the island’s rainy season today. Perching so proudly on the mason bee house, he looked like he owned the farm. Loving the peace and calmness living with nature brings is the best part of our little slice of Heaven. #heavenonearth #nature #homestead #peaceful #vancouverisland

Always lots of creative spirit happening on our little homestead. A new anvil will soon be front and center at Tony’s forge...let the artistic juices flow!! #blacksmith #forged #artisan #homestead
