(i can't believe i've graduated to telling "back in the old days" stories. aiyeee.). wonder why the mosquitoes didn't drive us back inside then? unlike THIS YEAR, with all the rain. you can't be outside any time of day now. we're on our second day in a row without rain or a shower - that's probably a record since may, or maybe even since easter. eager to hear how the guineas take to their new home. --suz in ohioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-90581998412947595032015-07-14T19:00:36.942-04:002015-07-14T19:00:36.942-04:00I've seen guineas roosting high in trees.

They roost high and will always return home even if you drive them down the road and drop them off at the neighbors.

I imaginee for safety. Will you come to Boston and build me a little flower studio in my back yard? And a new shed (or at least repair the one that's falling down)? And while your'e at it, I could use a moderately sized greenhouse for starting seeds in the spring. Just let me know when you can come! :)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954245955512283932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-55652001637711833052015-07-13T08:26:56.957-04:002015-07-13T08:26:56.957-04:00Your guinea tractor/greenhouse turned out quite ni...Your guinea tractor/greenhouse turned out quite nice.
