Mostly chickens!

Looking out at blue skies and bedspreads blowing in the breeze...why, you would think it spring for sure.  

Actually, we started Wednesday morning off with more rain...that's right, more rain! But while Weetie and I were sitting in the vet's office, the sun came out.

The high winds and hard rain from the line of storms that came through Monday morning soaked everything on both porches.

Do you enjoy looking out a window? I sure do! Something else I got from Mama. Anytime she was not busy cooking or cleaning, she was standing at a window looking out.

It's  hardly daylight when the guineas fly down from the cedar tree and gather near the front door...knowing I will be out with a bucket of feed.

Guineas are fun...loud, but fun. The noise from these fifteen can be deafening. They are quiet most of the time, but let a stranger pass, or any critter that doesn't live here, or a snake...especially a snake and they alert everything within five miles...their noise alerts Eli and Weetie to bark, and then the rooster to squawking, alerting the hens, then the hens begin that loud alarm squawking and run for cover...it's deafening!! If Poppy is here, he lets loose a loud whistle ...which is deafening too, and then everything quietens down.

The hens on Henny Penny Lane...

Most seem happy and content, and are laying again. Remember the eight chicks that little jewel hatched last summer. Well honestly, I think all of them are hens, which is hard to believe. Not even one looks like a rooster and surely by now I would be able to tell. Right? The new hens are laying too...small eggs, but they are laying.

Dear friends, I am bound and determined to put this post, such as it is, out there. It has been in the works since the first of the week! :) Monday seem so long ago, I can't remember. Tuesday was a dentist appointment and Wednesday a vet appointment for Weetie...which took up the better part of both  mornings.

 

Yesterday, lo and behold, I found a minute to rake leaves. Once this weird weather settles down I will finish painting Poppy's shop. That section of red is all that's left to paint. Can you imagine leaving just that much. Once I tire of doing something...I'm done. Well, not really. Actually that is the highest end of the shop and requires standing pretty high up on that ladder. It will be finished!!

I am behind on reading and commenting on my favorite blogs, and have not replied to the nice comments on my last post. Hope you will forgive me. Have I turned into a slow poke in my old age? Heaven forbid! I certainly do keep busy! Thank you! Now I'm off to the grocery store! :(

Love,
Henny
