hippychick's adventure to sustainable happiness

life of a girl, two boy cats, lady chickens and meatie chickens who come and go making efforts to live simple. growing veggies, fruit & flowers, saving rain from the sky & celebrating the wonder of the almighty pile de compost. she learning the art of putting up foods, propagating plants, raising farm-ish creatures and most importantly, sharing with family, friends and neighbors. indoor cat a.k.a. mr. t-supercat serving as chief interior bug catcher, squirrelspeak translator, chickenspeak translator and lizard lizard translator. indoor/outdoor cat a.k.a opera kitty serves as protector of the chickenchicas and entertains us all with his mawwrvolus singing.

in short it's about we, the family of many a varied creature on an adventure with our dirty nails, toes, paws and chickeny feet as we dig our way through the days.
