The Buns ..........................

have been venturing out of the nest this week. They've began eating their greens too.

Update ~ The lone guinea made it through the night , it was running around the fence line when I went out the next morning.

Hope Your Weekend is Wonderful !!

Blessings of Peace

Down by the Stream ...........................

Curious J had an early out day yesterday , the weather was nice , so we spent the afternoon exploring the stream.

I didn't do as much exploring as he did , but enjoyed watching
him climb .............

try a little balancing .........................

and jumping .......

As we hiked on down stream , Mojo joined the exploration.

A little further down stream , they discovered our small bridge that had washed away awhile back. We need to get it out and replace it. It was a really peaceful afternoon and I enjoyed my time with Curious J and Mojo.

Be Blessed

Free Birds ...................................

The keets have grown into young adults and this year I'm trying something new with their release.

I've been letting them out during the day , but trying to get them to roost inside at night.


The 4 adult guinea have been busy looking after them and teaching them how to be a guinea.


They stay busy all day long running them back to the underbrush or into the woods.


Sunday night they decided not to come in and roost , so they spent the night in the woods , roosting in the trees. They all survived , thankfully. Tonight , all but one went into roost , I tried to chase it in , but it became spooked and disappeared into the dark and I couldn't find it. I hope it isn't spotted by any predators and makes it through the night.




Many Blessings

Eyes Open ........................

The kits have grown so fast ,

their eyes have opened ..........

and they're so cute peeping out the nesting box.


They haven't came out of the nest yet , but it should be soon.
I think it was to cold the last few days , but they should be out and hopping about this week as it warms up.

Little Froggy is cuddling with my favorite bunny, it's light grey and so cute. I'll probably keep that one and hope to find homes for the others. I want to find a full size buck to breed Candy Corn with.

Many Blessings

Native Garden Angel .................................................

There was a beautiful sunrise yesterday , I love seeing the colors behind the silhouetted trees.

My friend Judie ask what was hanging in the tree near the garden when I posted the pics of Little Froggy and Mojo in my last post. So here she is , it's my garden angel. I originally hung her there to help scare the deer off , but now she just keeps watch over the garden. She's no longer a threat to the deer after being there so long unless I add perfume or cologne to her dress.

Daffodils , Garlic and Wild Onions ..................................

Last Friday while out feeding the animals , Little Time and I spotted some more daffodils that were blooming.


When he saw me taking a pic , he ran up and wanted to pose next them (LOL).


Since the weather has been so nice , I've been planting more garlic. Little Froggy was eager to help.

He planted about 10 cloves ..............

and was on to better things ...................

like , making Mojo a wild onion collar. Bet that would keep the fleas away (LOL).

Many Blessings

The Baby Bunnies ....................................

The baby bunnies were a week old yesterday ..........


But this is what they looked like last Friday ......


and this is what the cuties looked like yesterday at a week old.


Candy Corn was checking me out to see why I had her baby out of the nesting box. But I just had to check this one out , it looks like a wild rabbit. I'm curious to see what color it will be as it grows.

Yep , she's doing a head count to make sure I put that baby back in the box ( LOL ), she's a wonderful Mom.

National Chicken & Egg Day .......................

Forget Groundhog's Day ........

Because yes ........ today was actually the day to celebrate our chickens and the eggs they provide for us. My hens have just started laying again after their fall molting process. January started out good , but their egg laying has been slack this week. I'm not sure why , but it's probably the crazy weather pattern we're having. It's been very spring like , but we've had a couple of really cold nights. Pictured above is Ms. Rose , she provided me with an egg today and I'm mighty thankful to her. Ms. Rose is my aggressive hen , she'll chase you down for a snack , jump up and grab it if she gets the chance. She also pecks you if you don't get her feed in the pan fast enough , but it's a gentle peck (LOL ).

This is Iris , she lays white eggs with beautiful school bus yellow yolks.
She's the shy hen , I'm really surprised that she allowed me to capture this pic.


Jenny and Violet were hiding in the bushes today , guess they didn't want their picture taken ............ bad feather day , perhaps (LOL).

It was almost 70 degrees today , so this trio was seeking shade under the old truck. I'm thankful for my chickens and the eggs they provide us.

Happy Chicken and Egg Day !!

Blessings
