Guineas vs. Silkies - A Nest Comparison

Lady Guinea's newest clutch, this time better hidden For the past three weeks two of our yard birds have been "gettin' broody". They're both extremely dedicated. The silkie, named Sassafras, or Sassy for short, will go for days without getting off the nest. The guinea, Lady Guinea, gets off everyday to eat and drink. Lady Guinea also stays highly alert and will fly at you if you come near. Sassy enters what I call "monk mode" and does not open her eyes.

In actuality, this should be titled making something out of a giant bramble of blackberry, honeysuckle, wild rose and poison ivy.  When we first found our place it had been uninhabited for over 2 years. With 35+ inches of rainfall per year things can grow pretty fast. Needless to say,...

Lawns Look Much Better as Gardens

A few of the squash plants. Lookin' good When we first moved to Tennessee in March one of our top priorities was to get a little garden going. The quickest and easiest way at that time was to set up a few square-foot garden plots around the house. We didn't...
