I often get asked how I accomplish so much in one day.
I wish I had an easy answer for you.
I am by nature a "busy" person...and not one to sit much.
Hubbs and I are both very organized...
and now that Hubbs is retired, the work gets done in half the time,
as there are now two of us working together.
Yesterday I spent the day with Mackenzie and Easton...
leaving the farm at sun-up and not returning home until sundown.
I have to say...
working a day on the farm
is much easier than keeping a 3 month old and a 2 year old for the entire day!!
We had a fun day... full of play,
but by the end of it I was beat!
While I was gone...
armed with lots of Ritz crackers,
Hubbs held down the farm.
(Amanda was home for the evening and took some photos for me.)
Our guinea babes are just about full grown.
They spend most of their days outside their house.
Apparently, once evening has arrived...
it is very scary to have to go back into a dark house...
and so the guineas stay outside....
unless we turn on a light for them...
which we do (every afternoon).
Then, by sundown, they happily return to their cozy little house
to roost for the night.
At bedtime, we turn off their night.
"Sleep tight, crazy birds!"
At bedtime, we turn off their night.
"Sleep tight, crazy birds!"
Guinea relocation will be happening very soon.
One of these days, we will be moving chickens and turkeys into different houses.
At this point, the guineas will move into the old turkey house by the barn.
This will give them a much bigger yard...
which is needed right now.
These crazy birds love to fly and are practicing their flying in a yard that is a bit too small.
PS... we are in the midst of a little heat wave...very strange weather for October.
I am hoping that things cool down again very soon.
I love October so much and I would be happiest if it felt like October!

Looks like those Guineas have their “huddling, snuggling, roosting” down pat . . .
A day with babes and toddlers . . . WHEW . . .
A different BUSY for sure . . .
