Coffee anyone ?

Dogs didn’t care. At one point I was collecting a lot of them. I was going to try them in dough or batter but the birds disappeared after a storm. Guineas are like beer, you don’t buy as much as you rent. Mine disappeared but in a week someone else’s showed up. Along with a peacock that scared the crap out of me when it flew out of the barn one evening. Dear God I thought it’s Mothman. Peacock returned to wherever. I occasionally heard it at quite a distance. It was a pretty bird and I’ll bet they do a number on snakes. Noise specialists though.

We had a peacock show up in our yard in 2019. Beautiful birds. Bought a mate for him and enjoyed watching them raise babies for 3 years. I hated having to sell the babies, the female was devastated each time, but we would have been overrun. So we finally sold them all last spring.

There a place here - actually Betty Crocker's (yeah that Betty Crocker) old place. Really cool and nice folks own it. They've got peacocks and just put out something local that they will be placing the babies and I ~think some older ones so they don't get over run.

Today was Sit with Kit day. That lil guy - he's so special (yeah Gramma-itis here ) He's crawling - not 100% but is for a few feet at a time - YEE HAA!!! And when I left today I had my mirrored sunglasses and played a version of peek-a-boo (Saying "Hi") and he laughed! Every time a serious belly laugh.
I'm smitten.

"Mothman"!

Yes indeed. I’d just seen the movie with Richard Gere.

I ate guinea eggs along with ducks and other fowl as a kid. I don't remember a different taste of any degree. Even excited to find duck eggs in the pond (not floating) hoping for something special of different. Naa bigger but the same.

I’ve found guinea eggs very rubbery when fried.

I didn't realize there was a movie. We stopped at the Mothman museum one time on our way to Chicago. DH and DS were enthused.

Well, the allergies morphed into a possible URI. I was running a fever last night, went to bed at 8pm. Fever broke at some point, now I'm just dealing with removing as much "stuff" from my head and chest as I can.

Caleb has been good, considering he's only had brief yard walks recently.

Coffee is ready, going for second cup. It's foggy, sheep are still bedded down like they know it's hopeless that I'm showing up to let them out. I slept until 7, I was tired. I've been looking at my nemesis, thistles. I fought them last year and sprayed them this past winter as they came up and killed a lot of them. But there are more and they are blooming. I've had to sit here and watch them grow. I'm gonna take the mule, loppers and a garbage bag and work on them this morning. I'll do a little each day, hopefully keep them from spreading more seed. I'm not going to poison them this go-round, just cut the tops off. I told Layne what I'm going to do and he agreed. Who needs a doctor release when I've got a over concerned son?

Just go slow...
