That’s my world Tuesday is a new meme to show off your part of the world. This is the first issue and my first time joining in. I had hoped to get my picture in early on, but my internet provider was down most of the day.
I’ve looked at some of the pictures from other people’s “corner of the world”, and they are breathtaking!
However, since this is about my world, my picture will be a little more prosaic. When I look out the windows, I don’t have an ocean view, or see a big sweeping vista showing mountains. There is no Disney World next door. Instead we are bordered by a subdivision with close to 50 houses, a creek, farm and blacktop road.
When I look outside I don’t see boats in a river or ocean, or wild animals like moose and bears. What I see most often are LOTS of guineas.
This bunch is taking it easy in and around the sheep’s shed.
We have other farm animals, of course, but for today, it’s guineas. There will be time enough on other “My World Tuesdays” to show other animals and scenery from around the farm.
So there we are for today, and welcome to That’s My World!

Thanks for the wonderful trip around your place. So very much different from my place but I do wanna share my place also to you. Great job.
Each to his own as the saying goes. You may not have the vista, but you have your life around you – and you probably don’t have 2 m of rain each year!
I so love seeing a very different world! I live on a mountain not far from a water world, so this is quite refreshingly different and very beautiful!
RW: This is a true photo of your world and I’m sure you have so much more to show of your area of the country. I await to see what is around your area of the world.
Welcome to the start of My World.
Your world is different from mine so seems exotic to me, though it may seem common to you. So please keep posting and sharing.
The farm is nice. My subdivision is a development. It has over 4000 homes in it. I can only see the mountain REALLY well when I drive a couple of blocks to get out.
Being by a farm isn’t so bad!
Those birds certainly are social animals, aren’t they?
Around here we have wild turkeys…
I really like your shot and those guinea fowls! And I think quite same way – in my corner is nothing so amazing, but it is beloved to me8]
Thank you for sharing!
Cheers, Klaus
Aren’t they adorable, funny birds, and so pretty to look at. We only have a flock of hens and a rooster.
Look forward to more of your farm and/or fyrther afield next week.
I enjoyed visiting your world and the guineas. Also enjoyed reading about the guineas in your previous post – I didn’t know the babies were called “keets”. You have walnut trees! I would love to see those. Beautiful pictures!
I think it is fascinating to see different places of the world, love your scenery as I live in a complete different environment!! looking forward to see the other farm animals, this is so much fun!!
Seems to be a really great place, quiet, no pollution and noise estrondosos of large cities. was very kind to share, thank you for visiting friendly.
hugs from Brazil
I too enjoyed your post…an aunt of mine always had guineas and your photo brought back memories for me.
That’s the fun of this thing. I don’t get to see Guinea hens out my back door. Thanks for the peek! I like it!
Another very personal my world nad I think the first guineapigs I’ve seen today.
When you look out the window you see a beautiful World.
Congratulations.
I enjoyed your post from your corner of the world:)
It is so interesting to see what is in others parts of the country and the world! I’m SO excited to check these out!
Thanks for dropping by my corner!
Great posting. Thank you for sharing!
Love your Guineas. They make such good watch dogs!
Great first “My World” post! Thanks for stopping by Prairie Visions!
i’m noticing that we all live in very different places but our love of photography and sharing that love has brought us all together. Great shot I look forward to seeing more from you.
I liked your post it is nice to see what really is right in your world. I have been considering getting guinea hens here to help with the tick and spider overpopulation. How do your guineas do in this area? or do you think chickens do a batter job?Thanks for stopping by and you wonderful comment.
Look at those ladies hanging out at the water cooler. Cool shot.
Like you I don’t look out over rolling vistas either, but it’s home and I’m sure you love yours like I do mine. Nice post
We all don’t live in the same kind of places it’s true; but we do look forward to seeing everyone’s own world and that ocean, mountain, or Disney scene is just a virtual click away.
Look forward to seeing more of your world in the weeks to come.
Thanks for visiting mine. You mentioned you were from WV. If you don’t mind me asking – what part? I live near Parkersburg.
Thanks to everyone for dropping by and all the great comments.
You’re certainly correct RuneE, we don’t get 2m of rain a year. Right now we’re way behind in rainfall in fact.
Yes, the guineas are very social. They do almost everything in groups, even nesting in pairs or sometimes 3 of them side by side. They’re great to take care of a tick problem.
Thanks again for dropping by!!!
Thanks for sharing your picture of your farm. I used to live on a small farm and had a lot of fun there. I live in a small subdivision now, but right behind me is a farm. In fact I was out there last night taking some pictures of the farm. Looking forward to seeing more of yours.
Used to teach in the country. One day a some guineas got loose from the farm next door and preceded to attack my classroom. You world looks a lot like where I grew up. Living in Florida where it is green is a new experience for me.
Carletta, Small world! If you live near Parkersburg, you might actually know where I grew up, a few miles north in Eureka. I was born in Parkerburg however, in St. Joseph’s Hospital!
TCKK and Dee thanks for stopping by. Guineas can make life interesting, for sure!
Trust that there are some of us who live in the city who think the country is as beautiful as God could possibly have made it.
Thanks for sharing a piece of your world with us.
I’m so thrilled that we have so many different kind of corners to live in this world. You place looks sooooo nice, looking forward to see more.
beautiful photo and place!
Your post may appear prosaic to you but to me, it is interesting. And I liked the way you have introduced yourself on ‘My World’. Shall be looking forward to seeing more of your world.
Thank you for dropping by my world and leaving behind a nice comment.

2sweetnsaxy, I must admit, I don’t do well in the city. Sometimes it is good to be reminded how nice it is out here in the country!
Krisu, it is fun looking at all the different kinds of “corners” people live. Such a wide variety! Infinite diversity in infinite combinations!
Thanks for the nice comment auringonkukkaperhe.
Great picture! I love Guinea Fowl, I used to live in Africa and they were the best leopard alarm ever!
Celine, thank you and you’re welcome all at once!
Celeste, that’s one I would never have thought of, using guineas for a leopard alarm. Of course, we don’t have many leopards around here!
They do sound the alarm for everything else however!
You bet we live in different worlds. Me city, you country. Great photo! Happy My World!
Hi,
And thanks for your comment. What a nice coop full of birds. They look like alot of fun. Especially when they divebomb into your head.
I found my wy here via your comment link. Did you realize that link still takes you to your old blog|? I clcek on the link to here that you put in your final post on the old site. Just thought I would mention it.
Ill be back next week!
I like looking at farm photos. And thanks for visiting me on Tueday My World post. Joann
Interesting post! I love farm scenes, and I am sure you will have a lot to share! Also, of the surrounding area as well. Take care!

Thanks everybody for dropping by!
I’ll see if I can update the link Susan. I appreciate you letting me know.
Guineas rule!
Looking out and seeing guineas is a pleasure in itself! Nothing gets me chuckling quicker than my guineas. 
Thanks for sharing!
I never would guess from your photos that you’re right by a subdivision that large.
And I just saw the title of your previous post, so I won’t say anything about the Guineas and how sweet they look.
Tammy, guineas are interesting!
& wren, MOST of the time the guineas are pretty harmless, but as I mentioned in my previous post, they can get pretty mean when they feel the situation warrants it!
Yay! I found your blog again finally! I’ve been away for so long and have missed you and your blog.
And I just wanted to say that I love the view of your world.

There is not a thing wrong with this world view RW!! I see almost the same sight every morning and am just loving my Guinea “kids”.
Hopefully I’ll never get hit in the head by one but one never knows!!
