New Members to the Homestead

Over the weekend we happily welcomed some new members to our little homestead.

My Dad brought over a catfish that he had caught and then told me that a friend of his came by and put about 20+ fish in our pond without even telling me. WOO HOO! Time to get the bait and tackle ready! 🙂 Eli has been eagerly wanting to fish since his trip to Skymont with the Scouts. 🙂
Second…
We have a brand new pair of guinea fowl. Hooray! I have been wanting some of these critters for a while now. They are AWESOME at eating ticks and ants and are great ‘watch dogs’.
And for us… they are good alarm clocks too!
This is how we woke up yesterday morning.

Papua New Guinea was on top of Shannon’s truck crowing like a mad-man. It was great.
