The silo on the left is the very reason that the Old Silo Road got its name. This silo is over 100 years old and is one of the original building still left in this part of Barnet, Vermont. I have loved this old silo my whole life. It would be the perfect Rapunzel tower. I have always wanted to own the property that it sits on and matter of fact it is for sale, but I will never own this. I don't make enough to barely live on. So I get the privilege of passing it twice a day, 5 days a week. Let me know what you think of my new photo!!
Now onto the great news! Gracie was around the farm a great deal this morning!!! She came and got food off of the roof and brought it back to the nest until the food was all gone. So I firmly believe that WE HAVE BABIES!!! I don't know how many. I won't know for a couple of more weeks. It will take between 35 to 42 days before they can fly. I would go check, but I really don't want to disturb them. I don't want George and Gracie to move. So I'm hoping that because they brought their babies to the farm last year that they will do the same this year. And now that I have a better camera I will be able to get some great shots of the babies.
Last years babies were so noisy and full of personality that we named them Squeak and Squawk! Squawk was extremely noisy and extremely demanding. We thought George and Gracie were going to pull their feathers out!!!! But to their credit they dealt with their noisy children like champs. Below are a few photos of George and Gracie over the years. You will notice in one of the photos that George and Gracie are on the back of one of the Hereford calves taking hair off of him. Its a little blurry, but I was so excited to get such a photo! George is the one that you can see first.
Thanks for stopping by George: The Old Silo Raven. George and I appreciate it!
