Harumph!<br /><br />I vaguely remember reading that Guinea hens are good "watch dogs" too - didn't know about the tick eating, but that sounds like a good thing. But it seems there was something about them being noisy though.<br /><br />It's been colder here lately, I think it was in the 30s overnight, but it's nice out right now. Windy off & on the last few days too.<br /><br />Safe travels!quiltzyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847188443140845514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-64056870803239833252018-02-21T12:51:04.945-08:002018-02-21T12:51:04.945-08:00The wild Guinea looks a lot different from domesti...The wild Guinea looks a lot different from domesticated ones.

I don't mind all the graffiti, personally. I would mind the garbage though, and chuckled at your comment. Those Guinea fowl are interesting looking, for sure. I didn't realize their tick-eating abilities until I read that in the other comment. Hope your wind calms. piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-7287865742269199752018-02-20T20:08:08.883-08:002018-02-20T20:08:08.883-08:00My sister-in-law in the Upper Peninsula of Michiga...My sister-in-law in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan keeps Guinea fowl. They happen to be very good at eating ticks. Which is why she bought them in the first place. She lets them roam free during the day and locks them in at night so the foxes, wolves and other critters do not get them. She has lost a few to the hawks but having them roam around the house and garden has cut down on the ticks she has found on herself.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779941292169327439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-70576058953221093342018-02-20T19:04:32.311-08:002018-02-20T19:04:32.311-08:00It's really fun armchair traveling with you fo...It's really fun armchair traveling with you folks!

Definitely looks dryer. As to winds, I'm not sure if New Mexico is getting the storm that came thru California, but we've had high winds which are supposed to stop early this week. I also heard there were some big dust storms in Arizona, as a result of the winds. Stay safe & enjoy.<br /><br />QuiltShopGal<br />www.quiltshopgal2.wordpress.comQuiltShopGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165032142483696494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-80420442093980120652018-02-20T06:31:55.200-08:002018-02-20T06:31:55.200-08:00I love all the pottery and designs on the overpass...I love all the pottery and designs on the overpasses when you drive through Albuquerque. On our last trip through there I tried taking photos for potential quilts, but we zoomed past many of them too fast. We stayed in Tucumcari once (or twice).
