Guinea Fowl

One of our neighbors has a Guinea fowl that escaped from her backyard late last week. He spent a day in and out of our backyard and was spotted all around the neighborhood. The kids were mildly amused by the Guinea fowl, who liked watching us through the window in our back door, but Michael was the one who grew attached and was a little sad to see him leave. Gary, as Michael called him, did finally make it home to his owner. I was talking to my Granny Hulett this weekend and she said that her grandma used to race Guineas (in her home state of Kentucky).
