“Haupt captures crows wonderfully in elegant prose and weaves a thoughtful tale that connects them… to our growing awareness of our kinship to, and dependence on, the rest of life.”

Lyanda Lynn Haupt Good (Bike)juju.

Confession: I am not an intrepid cyclist. I have an orange bike with a big comfy seat, and a step-through frame (what we used to call a “girl’s” bike) so I can leave my little skirts ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Handmade gifts and the "Sanctity of Giving"

In the world of eco-hip, we are expected to eschew Christmas hype, and I am as cynical about corporate, commercial, factory-made holidays as the next person. But I love to celebrate the turning of the ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Chicken Time--it's the new green.
Source: thetanglednest.com
As we move deeper into this season of darkness, I have observed that my own impulse to cozy down into an early bedtime is mirrored by the mood of the chickens. Starting in late summer, the girls put ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Hi friends. There's a very nice excerpt from Crow Planet in the current Utne Reader. Have a look at the real paper copy if you get a chance--one of my longtime favorite publications.

Watching crows can give people a better understanding of human made habitation, urban, and suburban nature.
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Seasons at (and above) the table.

When we moved into this house, I was overjoyed to finally have a dining room (I’d never had one), big enough for a long table. I dreamed of an old craftsman hanging lamp to replace the new ceiling ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt The Peace of Pumpkin.

It was time to take the pumpkin out of the pot and eat it. In the final analysis, that was what solved these big problems of life. You could think and think and get nowhere, but you still had to eat your pumpkin. That brought you down to earth. That gave you a reason for going on. Pumpkin.
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Lazy seed saving.

It’s the end of the harvest season, and although a great deal of my mind and energy is turned to enjoying the fruits of this year’s produce (today I’m canning applesauce and freezing ...

Thanks to my co-chicken farmer (and daughter) Claire for writing the latest Tangled Nest post. http://thetanglednest.com/2009/10/oddbal

Have you ever heard of a wrinkled egg? An egg with 2 yolks? A gray egg with bumps all over? Well, neither had I until our chickens started laying.
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Plan ahead to warm your heart this winter...

We’ve had a great tomato year–about as good as it gets in Seattle. A hot summer, and warmth into the beginning of October (last year the green tomatoes practically withered on the vine in ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Where the Wild Things Really Are
Source: thetanglednest.com
In the summer, we like to set up our tent in the backyard, and move into it. The tent has a wide, screened roof through which stars, moon, warm breezes, and leafy shadows all make their way. Normally ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Just crazy enough to work...

With the harvest season upon us, and bowls of plums, tomatoes, and apples crowding the counters, fruit flies are proliferating madly. Some things, like tomatoes, just can’t go in the fridge without ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Really really big flowers.
Source: thetanglednest.com
We planted several Mammoth Sunflowers in our garden this year. Clearly, they don’t call them “mammoth” for nothin’, though this is the only one that grew to truly mutant proporations. It’s gorgeous–I want a whole forest of them.

First, I have to say thank you thank you thank you to all of you who have turned out to my readings and events this past month. I have been completely overwhelmed and overjoyed at the response to this ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt A day of Firsts.

Esmeralda, our four month old Barred Rock hen, laid her first egg yesterday! OK. I know there are about a gajillion “urban farm” blogs out there announcing the first eggs laid by their sweet ...
Lyanda Lynn Haupt Perfect dinner.

It’s the peak of tomato season in Seattle–the plants are covered with the most beautiful shades of green, orange, yellow, red, and burgundy. We are canning tomatoes, drying tomatoes, making ...
