~ Our 4th of July Weekend ~

Our 4 Th of July celebration was good , hope yours was too. We had a cook-out , grilled BBQ chicken , stuffed mashed potatoes , tossed salad , green beans and baked beans ....... yum , it was so gooood. My son-in-law put on a fireworks show , it was beautiful , but I forgot to take pics. The kids all enjoyed the pool , the adults just enjoyed conversation.
Curious J spent alot of time here last week since he was out of pre-school for the week. Friday morning I let him use my camera to take photos , he took photos of the hens , thought I would share his first try at taking photos , he really did well. So all the photos of the hens were taken by him except for the 1st photo and the last two. The 1st pic was taken by me , it shows the grapevine wreaths I made last year and a little wall hanging with 2 hens saying " Friends to the very End " it hangs on the side of the chicken coop.

We've got another guinea hen sitting on a nest , she's nesting under some steel near DH's garage. We only had 5 guinea come to roost Friday night , so I thought we might have another one on a nest , Saturday morning she was at the coop with the others waiting to be fed. I didn't have time to watch her Saturday because I was getting everything ready for the cook-out , but I found her nest yesterday.
