Vintage Adulting

Remembrance Day always brings up a great deal of emotions. I am thankful for those who fought so that we could have our freedoms. I think we still have a long way to go, but I believe we are making those who fought for us proud

First free ranging day of the year! For the new chickens and ducks, first day ever! They were very unsure at first, but after I called and the older hens came running, they ventured out too! Lil Roo did a great job keeping an eye on everyone. The hens did a great job clearing the leaves from the hydrangeas and eating bugs. ... I’m also glad I didn’t have to chase the ducks anywhere. I would call it a successful day! - - - - - #chickensofinstagram #chook #chooks #chooksofinstagram #heritagebreed #heritagebreeds #heritagechicken #canadianchicken #hen #hens #fluffybutt #farm #farmlife #homestead #homesteading #hobbyfarm #vintageadulting #norfolk #norfolkcounty #lovenorfolk #womenwhofarm #chickenmom #mixedflock #buffduck #cayugaduck #ducksofinstagram #petduck #mrdarcyandlizzie #duckmom #freerangechickens

About sums it up

When one of your chickens doesn’t know how to chicken and hides a bunch of eggs under the coop Thanks Bea! - - -... - - #chickensofinstagram #chook #chooks #chooksofinstagram #heritagebreed #heritagebreeds #heritagechicken #canadianchicken #hen #hens #fluffybutt #farm #farmlife #homestead #homesteading #hobbyfarm #vintageadulting #norfolk #norfolkcounty #lovenorfolk #womenwhofarm #chickenmom #mixedflock #buttnuggets #farmfresheggs #hiddeneggs See more

WOW! There has been a bunch of new followers lately, so I thought I would introduce myself. Hi! I’m Amy! I am the face behind Vintage Adulting. Welcome to the craziness! Here’s a bit about me: Mama of two wild girls... Wifey Animal hoarder Environmental Protector Foodie Creative Crazy Person Big fan of swear words Supporter of all things local Sulfite Sensitivity Sufferer Amateur IPhone Photographer Believer in Equality for all Endometriosis and Adenomyosis warrior Lover of Old Homes and history Faithful to both Tea and Coffee I run our CSA program (weekly veggie boxes) and everything is grown here, by us, on our 3/4 acre farm. We also have a menagerie of 12 chickens, 2 ducks, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. When I’m not in the garden or with the kiddos, I also work on the events crew at a local winery, and at an amazing shop in town for local artisans, and as a bus driver during school months. I am also a Guider (leader) for our local Girl Guide & Pathfinder Unit. In my free time I like to get crafty making cross stitches, knitting, sewing, candle making, and painting. I am beyond thankful for each and every one of you here (and that you made it through all that). I’m so happy I can share our homesteading life, chickens, crafts, century home, and vegetables with you! Thanks for following along I would love for you to tell me about YOU!
