Last Call for Grit Magazine Giveaway!

This is it, only a few hours left to enter my Grit magazine subscription giveaway!  Read my prior posts for the entry rules ~ it's really, really easy.

No tweeting, Facebook joining, 

or dancing under the full moon required!

We left the chicken coop open this afternoon.  Normally, we close all the birds up securely before we leave for work (we are both 2nd shifters!) but with temps expected to climb near 112 or over today, I didn't want to take a chance on them getting overheated.  Of course, I needed to leave work early in order to close the coop right around dusk.  

We have wayyyyyy too many predators out here on our prairie

to even risk leaving the coop open after dark!

We've got a chance of storms tomorrow night -- whoopeee!  Needless to say, we can really use the moisture.  My fingers are crossed...  here's a pic of an early June storm building momentum.  (I think we've had maybe one storm since then??!)

Here's hoping for some rain on Wednesday!!

Until then, get your entries sent for the Grit giveaway!!

You have until midnight PST.

A winner will be drawn tomorrow using randomizer.org.

Stay tuned to my blog as I tell the

riveting rescue story of keet #3 later this week.

[I don't recall that he ever thanked me for his in-the-nick-of-time rescue?!]

A Keet Nap... and Last Day to Enter Grit Giveaway!

Keets like to stretch o-u-t when they sleep.

Most guinea experts will tell you...

they almost look dead!

Today is the last day to enter the awesome Grit magazine subscription giveaway.  If you're not familiar with what Grit magazine is all about, click on the link to their website and check them out -- they are everything country, and especially self-sufficient country.  Definitely one of my favorite magazines!

Entry rules are posted in prior posts, but it's really quite simple: just hit "reply" when you get an email announcing a new post on my blog, and in the subject line put "Enter me in your Grit giveaway!"

That's it.

Entries will be accepted until midnight Tuesday, PST - that's 3 a.m. Wednesday Eastern time.  So if you haven't subscribed to my blog yet, you still have time.  That neat little subscription box is over in my left sidebar.

Best of luck to everyone who has entered so far, and remember, even if you don't win a subscription to Grit magazine, there are going to be more fun country giveaways over the next 12 months.  

I've got a hay-wagon full of great ideas

and can't wait to do all the future giveaways!

A Country Morn ~ and A GRIT Giveaway!

It's been a busy country morning here on the farmstead already.

Processed 5 jars of dill spears.

(Thank you, Penny, for your recipe!)

Cleaned the keets' brooder.

I love their chirpiness! 
(And they already poo'd in the clean brooder!!)

Got hungry.  Made a cheese 'n onion omelet

with guinea eggs.  Yum.

Now I'm off to clean the incubator.

The eggs have been removed.

No more are going to hatch.

Reminder....

Don't forget to enter the great Grit magazine subscription giveaway!
