get outside

Hey folks, sorry for being a complete slacker lately on the blogging front.  I could bore you with all of my excuses, but I will sustain from doing that.  I can't believe summer is nearly over for us, where did it go?!?!?!  I love summer and have hard time accepting the transition from summer to fall.  Luckily, we are blessed enough to live in a place where summer sticks around for quite some time.  Which makes it easy to enjoy our outdoor spaces as long as possible.  Here are few lovely outdoor space inspirations that make me all kinds of happy.

Chickens and such

Happy March folks, sorry I've been a little sporadic with the posts as of late.  I celebrated a birthday, and in my world that's a solid week of birthday festivities.  The weather has been a bit of a roller coaster here in NC and spring fever has officially set in.  We plan on getting some chickens once we can confirm that we are out of the risk of freezing and then start enjoying some fresh laid eggs.

Apparently, having a chicken coop  in your backyard is the "new big thing".  We will definitely have a small coop, and probably only 2 chickens but here's a few coops I've been eyeing.  Some of them are so fabulous I want to live in them.

I mean, I can't even believe the cute level that is going on right now.  It's like a fairy tale chicken coop.

I love this one, it's modern but rustic.

Again, how cute?  What chicken wouldn't want to shack up here?

Love the shutters and gravel walkway.

Window boxes on a chicken coop, who'd a thunk it.

This reminds me of a retro camper and I love it.

This one's pulling double duty as a coop and  herb garden...genious for small spaces.
