Weather too good to spend time blogging!

It's November, and with cold weather just around the corner (we have already had a hard freeze), I have a bunch of building chores to do. I am finally shingling the chicken/guinea house, and I'm building nesting boxes and I'm going to enclose the run with chicken wire on top. I have three nice days to get this done.

In addition, Major has switched out some of his horses and my horses, Willy and Petey, are having some pecking order issues with a couple of very nice black geldings - one of whom looks to be recently gelded (by his neck size and his attitude). I've patched up a couple of bites and cuts, but I think they are now settling down and getting along with each other.

Speaking of pecking order, Rocky, our Barred Plymouth Rock rooster, has decided that he needs to also lead the guinea fowl. The guineas do not quite understand this, and look at him quizzically as he tries to heard them around.

Kiki and Gunner spent 6 hours exploring the farm - 6:00 am until noon! I was getting worried, and I looked around and the two of them were right behind me.

And Smudge, the outside cat, has decided that her job is to watch all the birds. The horses were just a bit too big for her to keep an eye on.

I need to get back outside. I promise to bring my camera with me, so I can post some pictures of all the goings on at Castle Argghhh!
