Bye Bye Grayton
Poor Silly Guinea-Bird Grayton always refused to roost up high, he preferred our lawn furniture. Well it was the death of him. Something, we think, spooked him. He tried to get into the nearest tree, but he was out of practice and broke his guinea neck. We buried him under his bachelor tree, the place he went when he wanted to be a DUDE and strut around doing DUDE-STUFF. The boys raised him from a fluffy chick and he was always the most comfortable when close to them, his imprint parents. When...

“ Me Fail Engrish, that Umpossible” ~Ralphie Well it rained, and then it rained some more and a garden grew, and grew and grew. It goes without saying that it has been harder than usual to stand before my computer with the windows all around showing me the pretty garden growing into a Jungle. I have captured some photos, but I didn’t get the skunk family pictures again this year, not for lack of trying. Spent hours carrying the camera around when I should have been doing something...

I got this trouble spot out by the road, our bamboo line stops at the fence and try as I might the frontage is a mess. When we first landed here it was all native grasses, bluestem and baby bluestem and its was LOVELY, but I mowed it a couple of times and killed off all the native grasses ( because I was a dummy) and only the ugly encroaching grasses grew back. Ta’suck! So I tried tearing it all out and adding wildflowers. That worked great for a couple years but ( this time it wasn’t...
Read MoreWhite The Guinea Bird
The saga of White the Guinea continues. He is being batted around my the bully Olive and when the going gets too rough he heads for our porch to get inside. It always seems to happen around the dinner hour. We hop up to find a kerfluffle on the porch and bring him inside. Tuesday he sat at the table and ate a bit of roll and tater tot! LOL! He is looking pretty rough…broken beak tip, back feathers all missing, long scratches down his tender back skin, the poor little guy. Right now, he...
Read MoreGuinea Wrangling!
Let me tell you about my sweet neighbor Kelly… Dillon, Nathan and I had gone over to visit our Helen, she had a little something for the boys to do, dig some holes plants, some trees…that sort of thing. We were on our way back when we see Kelly driving a bit wild on her riding mower. Hmmm? We get closer to home and upon seeing us our Guinea brood dashes from the tall grass and across the road. Turns out Kelly was trying to mow the field between her house and ours and the Guineas...
Read MoreWhite
Because we have such vast imaginations around here we named this guinea “White”. We call him, Whitie, White-ness, Mr. White. ( obscure Reservoir Dogs reference) So he gets a little variety. To put it simply White is too human. He is having trouble hanging with his group and is getting the razzmatazz because he doesn’t fit in. He has become white fringe, hanging on the edge of the group being made fun of. Even Goofy-Head Fred has a higher rank than White. (I don’t even have a picture...

Welcome to life without the instruction book, cooking without looking at the recipe, and straight up NERD worship. I married one, I birthed two and happily call myself one. My heroes have always been nerdests...Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Nikola Tesla, Winston Churchill, and foremost my Dad. Come Ride The Arrow with me awhile.
