Living at Rainbow's End

Amish Auction.

I went to the auction yesterday with my niece, Marion.  She bought  a beautiful quilt and I bought 8 guinea hens and a bantan chicken couple. 

 

The guinea hens are escape artists as four of them are wnadering the woods and my neighbors yards.  I did meet a neighbor whose yard borders my property up along the old railroad bed and she was very nice.  She loves the hens and says they can 'visit' anytime.  Also my other neighbor, Charlie said the hens are welcome as he likes to watch them in his backyard.  I'm very thankfull that they are so welcoming to the hens.   As athe four ladies that are free are making their way all over.  My chickens never went so far away out of the yard and into the woods and beyond.  I watched the four 'free ones' fly over the creek behind our pond and go up the hill so I may be meeting the neighbors from that end also.

 

It's funny, I lived here my whole life for the most part and I only know three neighbors.  I guess that is what happens when you are divided by acres of trees.

 

I didn't take any photos at the auction because every time I went to snap one an Amish person would turn around and be looking my way.  The Amish don't like having thier photo taken so out of respect I would lower my camera.  Oh wait--I did  take a few photos of some really neat lawn furniture that was there for my nephew, Marion and I are going to give him a project to make us furniture like it.

 

We had alt of fun.  I was acheing last night from walking so much, so I had a nice warm Lush bubble bath.

 

I ahve to seriously pack the suitcases this week, I want them done by Thursday so I don't ahv elast minute running around to do.

Glad you had such a great time! Hope you had a whoopie pie for me! LOL! I need to learn how to make those things, only I'm afraid to discover what is in them or I may never want to eat them again. :o) Sounds like a fab day. And happy chicken hunting!!
