Hanging In There!

September 2, 2008

I went out one morning to do chores and heard a whole lot of peeping going on. LOUD peeping. I tracked it down to the chicken pen. More precisely, to the wire between the chicken pen and front, and the peafowl pen in back.

A little peachick managed to get inbetween layers of chicken wire and crawl upwards – I presume in a misguided effort to get back out.

Lady, quit taking pictures and HELP ME!!!

Once I rescued the little guy (gal?) from its’ predicament and put it back in the pen with Mama Peahen, I was NOT welcome. She was disturbed and pacing back and forth, and WILL YOU PLEASE LEAVE!?!

Hey, I can take a hint! I got my camera and myself out of there and left them in peace.

I was walking down in the bottom pasture when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I got my camera up and focused quickly, but the picture isn't all I hoped for. The little hummingbird was sipping nectar from a Cardinal Plant in the shadows, with bright sunshine behind. That makes it hard to get much detail on the stuff in the shadow, but ...

Rural Ramblings . . .

Welcome ya’ll!

We’re living the country life and hobby farming in the southeastern U.S.

We presently have chickens, turkeys and guinea fowl. To keep all the other critters safe, there’s a Maremma sheepdog and English Shepherd dog here as well!

I love to take pictures so there are lots of images to go with the stories! Not just of the farm critters, but wildlife and nature shots too. Plus some pictures from far afield now and then, when we do a tad of traveling. So sit down and visit a spell!
