QNS, thanks for the updated pics of your guinea hens. Now I recognize what they are. Years ago my sister had guinea hens on her property (she's not a city gal like me). They would sit on branches in the trees and swoop down on you when you walked under. She also had 2 geese that scared the cr** out of me. They'd sneak up behind you and bite you on the butt!! I'd leave there with black and blue marks on my behind; try explaining that to the doc when you go for your Pap smear!! I'll stick to the city thank you very much.

How funny now, JanRN; of course it was not then. [ATTACH=CONFIG]354948[/ATTACH]With my good friend, Susan J. and dh in his kilt, holding the "gone fishing' quilt that is 108 long and 96 inches wide...she bound it for me last night so all 3 are ready to 'gift' next week. Along the top are squares within a square, the bottom is Bear's paw depicting the sea turtles to the mountains, with two having fishing tackle gear...broken canoes or Iowa Star is along the side, along with brush and trees present around every pond and lake in the state.[ATTACH=CONFIG]354949[/ATTACH] And along the top:

A looong time ago we frequently visited my aunt & uncle who raised chickens & fruit trees.. My sisters and I enjoyed watching the rooster chase my mother all over the back yard...She was the only one the rooster chased...I remember going to the basement to get the peach preserves to make stove top pies made with white bread, butter & peaches..we used a contraption that you would hold over the stove burner waiting for the breaqd to toast....sisters and I slept 3 to a bed...me in the middle...with the jars of lightning bugs glowing in the dark...Ahhh...remembering the "good Old Days". H.
