Fennel. :plbb I like to cook the bulbs in the manner of onions, and I also use the stalks & fronds. It’s such a hardy plant, and I love making use of it!!
She was among the 4 guinea keets that I purchased in May 2021 so was about 4.5 years old. I think she had struggled with salpingitis earlier this year, but because my workplace is so far from the farm housing my flock I am not able to care for them as I’d like to.
Learned that my hen Melba passed away overnight… :( She’s the likeliest hen to have mothered the keet photographed in my avatar/pfp (and most of the 2023 hatchlings).
I thought about driving from Meeker to Longmont for no real reason… but I’ll be back that way in Thursday for a flu shot so I’ll...
Hmm—they had some assistance from a human with a pitchfork (“rehoming” the snake to other areas of the property). This occurred several times over the summer, and I never witnessed the guineas attacking the snake(s). Mostly they just stood in horror, except for that snapshot of Chief above. :D
Here is my hen “Chief” pouting due to a bull snake—at the time I think I had eight full-grown guineas and two nearly-mature adolescents.
Not a true flock per @R2elk’s definition ;)
I rode my bike to work! :eek:
Recalling from the pulmonary module in pharmacy school that the best way to improve lung function is through aerobic exercise… that was almost 10 years ago so don’t ask me for the source on that. ;)
Arrived 15 minutes early, changed clothes & fixed my hair, then...
That was my day as well; my eyes were hurting so badly last night that I took a Covid test (resulted negative).
There have already been several severe cases nearby, including at least one in the LTC connected to the hospital where I work.
Once I decided I was not dying of a headache today, I...
Got out of bed too late to ride my bike to work :eek: but it’s probably better that way—
I was discovered by an adolescent cat whilst attempting to rehome a tiny garter snake that had invited itself into the pharmacy where I work.
After finishing my shift, I misplaced my iPhone and shopped at...
It’s not Monday, but I was chosen this afternoon by….
There’s a feral black cat who hangs around the apartment complex, and I saw him slink past the patio right after taking this photo.
Kitty’s eyes are a deep golden hue, and I’m toying with the name “Ember” in acknowledgement of the recent...
:goodpost: That’s what I like to see!
(Edit: forgot the quote I copied. “They habitually eat more or less anything, but need the training to eat the plastic products.”)
