Those pictures of the mountains of the eastern side of the US...aren't those lovely. My parents live in NC now and I LOVE going there. <br /><br />Also, WONDERFUL that Aaron felt "like home" when he met all the family. That is terrific. <br /><br />Sorry for the sickness, I hope you're feeling better now. <br /><br />PS - Today I went to someone's house to help clean before they move tomorrow...can I just say I almost threw up in grossness like seventeen times, and I thought about you and how you have your cleaning routines that now I'm doing some of in our house, and I thought, "Thank heavens for people who know how to clean."

We are hoping to go to TN this summer sometime for an "official" family vacation. My husband wants to go to Bristol to the Nascar races and I want to see the beautiful sites. Is Gatlinburg (sp?) anywhere near Bristol, do you know? I'm not up for the "tourist-y" spots either, I want to see beauty and am looking for a place like that when we go. I have never been to TN.<br /><br />2. I want guineas too, about 4-6. Can you just throw them in with your current chickens? Would be get along? I only have one chicken house and not sure if I could mix them up like that or not. How do you handle it when you bring home new fowl? Do you have multiple places to put them or what?<br /><br />3. When I was preparing to get my first chickens (in April) I read some very wise advice: "Don't bring the fish home, 'til you have the fish bowl". lol It was hard, but I followed that advice. <br /><br />4. Your garden is just gorgeous....I want to be like you when I grow up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-6340805657192914472010-05-26T08:03:28.226-05:002010-05-26T08:03:28.226-05:00I really enjoy your adventures...so much fun!

She just got them as ducklings shortly before I got my chicks and they are almost full grown. They waddle all around the yard as a group. So sweet. I want me some ducks. Hubs says nope not this year. I will probably post about the chicks later this week but I have one little girl that always jumps up on my knee when I squat down to talk to them. Makes my heart melt. Addicting. Of course you know I live in Michigan and would have been happy to offer the guest room to you.
