The ol' homestead

10,000 calories...

Today we are back from a short visit with Sunshine and dad for the Labor Day week-end. It was short but nice and we even squeezed in a short trip to War Eagle Mill.

Upon arriving home all the animals were happy to see us although Big Miss did a great job in taking care of them. My, the birds have grown.

Here are the turkeys now, no longer babies...

And here are the guinees, no longer babies too (although they still stick with mom -she is a real chicken)

I also want to wish Big Miss 

"HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY ! "

This was taken when her friend Jersey from London was staying with us a few days before leaving. Big Miss is planning a 10 day trip there in the Spring if she can get her finances in line.

"HI" to you Jersey!

Haha

I had a real chuckle about your little comment about getting the size of a pool. I read out your post to my husband. He chuckled too!
