Re Rustica

We take time every day to learn, and when we saw some poppies growing along the roadside, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to learn. Out comes the camera! Look at how they grow together, what crops - er - wild plants grow between them, the way the wild boar has tilled the magnificent bed to improve the yield - er - show, and the innumerable creatures that depend on the beautiful blooms for their lives! Farmers study from nature because She is the best teacher!

Notice the biodiversity? We do. In our fields we encourage biodiversity for a reason!

Ivana and the other chickens decided they didn't want to be wet so they went inside their coop.  But they didn't want to spend the day inside, so they perched just outside or on the lip of their coop, where they continued to get wet.  They weren't cranky for their wetness, and our roosters got everyone inside properly before bedtime, early enough to dry off so nobody would catch cold.
