Love these tiny falcons. Spotted this American Kestrel hunting from the pole barn next door. The head bob is too cute. #americankestrel #petaluma https://ift.tt/2zO55DI

We've been busy with @petalumahairco but the farm is still doing well! The wisteria is trimmed, tomatoes plants taken out (lots of bugs for the chickens were found in the process), hawks have been hanging around and a super cool mantis in the front yard. https://ift.tt/2ARaNX0

World's slowest pie. Only took 4 years for our bramble to produce enough berries. Damn that was good. #worththewait #blackberrypie #growyourown #homemade https://ift.tt/2CXcdm2

"Kitchen frog", the Pacific Tree Frog that lives in our kitchen. Been seeing him here every couple days for a little over a year. Tried convincing him to get his own place, but you know how real estate is in CA. #kitchenfrog #treefrog #california https://ift.tt/2AUKWPS

I think someone around us has been feeding the deer, because this guy let me get wayyy too close. Actually came up to our fence to check me out. What a cool experience. #farmlife #deer #wildlife #petaluma https://ift.tt/2NRZUZy

There must be baby swallows in the nests! We have a few under the eaves of the house. Watch out for hawks and ravens little guys! #petaluma #swallows #barnswallows #babies #birds https://ift.tt/2ImXZbu

We've got apples! Also Asian pears and plums. Tomatoes and peppers are just now flowering. Keeping the garden small this year. #stillgrowingourown #petaluma #homestead #backyardchickens https://ift.tt/2t1NfJE
