Oh, and in case you were wondering if there is any new drama
in the guinea world....
Things remain status quo.
Guido and Giuseppe are still on the outs with Gus.
They spend all of their time with the turkeys.
Meanwhile Gus hangs out around the barn,
pretending to be a chicken.
(He hasn't fooled anyone!)
And our little Leo...
well, he has ventured out of the hayloft
and down the steps to the first floor of the barn.
"My, what big ears you have!"
"The better to hear you with Mama dear."
I think I am in "kitty love"!
- A Give-away....
I am hosting a give-away (tongue in cheek). The prize: lots and lots of rain clouds, some thunder, and a large portion of lightening. Just kidding... however, I would love to share if you need any of the above!! With the exception of the beautiful...

- Nighttime Tuck-in
It is seven o'clock and the sun has long since set beyond the horizon. No remnants of its light are left in this part of the world. Tonight the moon is hidden behind a solid wall of rain clouds. I pull on my muck boots as I do every night at this...

Warm weather arrived suddenly this week. Several days of warm, dry, sunny days made watering necessary. By the end of the week, our four rain barrels were completely empty. Finally, today it is raining....a good steady soft rain. The kind of rain that...

Ten Minutes of Sunshine
Do you know why this goat is smiling?
You might guess, from the food on his bottom lip,
that he is smiling because it is dinner time.
And you would be half right.
The special thing about this particular dinner time,
is that for the first time in 5 days it wasn't raining!
Yes, we had a 10 minute break yesterday afternoon,
and the sun came out.
Jack's sister Jill was smiling as well...
also with food on her bottom lip.
I really must talk to these two about their manners!
Yes, for the first time in 5 days, the goats emerged from their houses.
Here are the "boys" waiting for their supper...
During the rain, they stay in their houses,
sometimes two in a house,
and munch on hay (and then poop in their houses).
A little house cleaning will be necessary when the rain is finished!
I found this little guy trying to escape the rain in our garage yesterday...
Escargot, anyone?
I had a request for a picture of the front of our guest house....
I love this little cottage.
It has a small kitchen, living room and full bath on the first floor,
and a sleeping loft on the second.
It is toasty warm in the winter with a small wood stove
(although it has electric heat also).

I sure wish I knew what caused this awful rift in the family.
We might never know...no one is talking!
And our little Leo...
well, he has ventured out of the hayloft
and down the steps to the first floor of the barn.
"My, what big ears you have!"
"The better to hear you with Mama dear."
We have had terrible flooding in Central Pa. this week.
Our main river, the Susquehanna, has overflowed its banks,
sending thousands to higher grounds.
We are very lucky that our farm sits on high grounds.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are not so lucky.
We are to get more rain today,
so the worst of the flooding is yet to come.
