Things you wish you could say

I still toy with the idea of rotating guinea pigs around the yard

I don't recommend doing this.

We have been married almost 50yrs - and he still says he does not know where I keep (insert almost anything in the house) though as we have lived here for almost 35yrs and I seldom rearrange anything??
So I am tempted to say "B!@#Y Man"

It took me almost a year to figure out where my husband put things. Cleaning supplies, linens, certain utensils, etc. He was an established adult with a system, I was an adult teenager who'd never left home. I still don't know where some things are...

So, I wish I could say, "I'm well put together and on top of things!".

It's extremely unlikely that I would. I would need a lot of guinea pigs, and I would have to house and feed them during the winter as well as come up with a mobile, predator proof run for them.

Like I said, a lot of ideas that sound fun go through my mind, but then I do some research and realize that they really aren't going to work, or at least won't work for me. There is a guy in Wales that has a half acre berry farm where he uses guinea pig runs to keep the rows mowed, but he also has a huge barn to keep them in during the winter.

LOL - it sounds like I may be borrowing a couple sheep for a week.

I have half an acre, and I thought about goats to keep the grass down, but the more research I did on them, the more I realized that they are more upkeep than I'm willing to put in.

Maybe I can borrow a couple goats for a couple days...

Seriously there are people who will rent out their goats for a day or several days to clear brush and the like.
Might take some digging to find some near you.

You know that they are browsers more than grass eaters.

You want sheep to mow a lawn. Goats to clear brush.

If you look up a few posts, you'll see that that's exactly what I'm looking at. 3 sheep for a week at a time, returning as needed during spring/summer.

I get mowed yard and manure for the garden, the owner gets reduced feed costs and a bit of extra space.

Or you get liability for sheep loss due to dog attack.

One time there was a hill that I saw being cleared for boring buildings, and it was overrun with goats for a few days.

Lol, others beat me to it - rent a few goats or sheep for your needs. Guinea pigs!!! Are you nuts? Have you ever smelled the boars of that species? Worse than male cats. WORSE, I tell ya!
