My Mom's surgery went well. She will be spending the night and going home tomorrow.

I can't wait to hear if her legs are working again

I hope and pray they do Ron!

Ron I hope all goes great for your mom's surgery.

I hope you do enter some jam in the fair. How fun!

We still have 5 gallon bags of black berries and the plans are loaded and almost ready to pick again.

I hope and pray they do Ron!

Ditto here I do pray it is all good for her

Thanks! I think she will be much better

You all are nuts,, guineas are awesome. I loved the one's I had, AND their awesome noise. Dumb birds though, hundred yards from the road, 100s of acres surrounding us of fields and treelines and woods, and they all took turns going all the way down and playing 'chicken' with cars...
Your right Alaskan, those spotted feathers are cool. Been six or more yrs, and coop cleaning almost every yr, and I still find a feather occasionally, and it makes me sad, want more...
I think they would be great for tying flies for fishing.

Good news @ronott1! Keeping the prayers going that she has a speedy recovery without complication.

Urge her to take it easy and get plenty of rest old folks have a harder time shaking off the effects of anesthesia than younger people.

We were gone most of the day today. A friend was putting up a new antenna on his 50 foot tower and we had never seen an 'antenna monkey' at work before. It was fun to watch as long as we didn't have to climb it and he didn't fall so we'd have to do CPR or clean up the splat! The man that did the work has been climbing antenna towers for 41 years and was in his late 50s.

Couldn't pay me enough,LOL! Still got to see his two 2 darling day old doelings that his two does presented him with and the wether that he is trying to talk us into taking, plus got to talk chickens a bit as he is an enthusiast also as well as a HAM operator. All in all a nice, interesting day.

Plus I got rid of my surplus bantam cross roosters! Happy Dance Time!Our neighbor is going to take them to butcher. My broody is due to hatch chicks any time past Monday so just in the nick of time. I'll be able to shuffle my breeding stock around now

I'm not even going to try to catch up with you guys. Hope everyone is well and the weather is good where you are. @CapricornFarm, how is that river doing?

I have a Prayer Wand that a good friend made for me. She had spent time at a Sioux reservation (she is a minister) and learned to make the Native American Prayer Wands. Knowing my Cherokee heritage, she made a wand for me and incorporated feathers that had a special meaning to me (I chose turkey feathers that I found here in our timber) and added Guinea feathers to it. I love Guinea feathers. I guess God in his infinite mercy told these dumb birds that He was going to compensate them for their ignorance by giving them gorgeous feathers.

When you said delayed ... I thought by a day or four. ... or whatever.

it was successful.

 

[Alaskan]

Shall I send you some when they molt?

we would love that.... not sure what to send back though.

I do too! But sadly none of the boys fly fish!
