Where did my salad go?
There is a lot of freedom in having your own garden. Anytime you want a salad you can just walk into your own yard and pick it fresh . . . . until your chickens discover it, that is. I now eat the few pathetic greens that the birds somehow miss (pout, pout).
So since I last wrote on the blog about how I was taking a little hiatus my life went from crazy to insane whirlpool of dizzying despair! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but it really felt like I was treading water against a strong undertow for the last two weeks. I felt like some of it was backlash for taking a break from the blog, as if I removed a weight from one side of a scale only to have the other side rebound wildly from the sudden release.
Enough analogies. I think life is calming down again, so let me share a few things that have happened.
Two weeks ago I walked into the garage to check our young guineas and found the scene pictured above . . . That would be the top of their enclosure that they're sitting on . . . now it has a lid! Needless to say, these birds are ready to be outdoors hunting bugs, but we're still trying to find them homes! Anybody? Anybody?
Speaking of homes, our kittens are finally finding some. Two of them were adopted today, including the one pictured above. We still have the orange&white (Trip) and one calico (Righty) left (see pictures ). If you're counting you'll notice that we have five kittens, but I've only mentioned four . . . well, I've grown attached to Lefty so she's staying put! By the way, if you adopt our kittens you can feel free to rename them!
As I write this, I'm hearing sporadic tweeting coming from the incubator. We have a whole new batch of guinea eggs hatching! They weren't due to start hatching for three more days, so it was a bit of a shock this morning when the tweeting began. Oh well, if I can't handle the unexpected by now then I should quit the farm life!
Well that's it for today, but I'll be back soon with new adventures in wind turbine installation!
