high's in the 60's

it's to be warm today.

so warm that buggies are ALREADY woken up and flying around
the cats are going nuts with the buggies
which are apparently disoriented.....or so i like to believe
(in their little buggie brains)

pieheart said her windshield was a mess after taking her boys to school

so what is bad for her car.....
is very good for my ducks

as i plan on adding leaves to their outer pen today
it will give them some food, some entertainment and some extra exercise playing around in the leaves after bugs

plus it will help continue to keep their pen clean

while i am out there i will fluff up their hay too
not that it really needs it
but just because i like being around my ducks

if any one likes ducks, but worry about the noise......i can recommend muscovy ducks,

they aren't actually mallard derived ducks but 'duck like waterfowl'
and they don't quack!
they make the SAME noise a dog does when a dog is intently sniffing something

plus if you do decide to eat them..... they don't have the fat of a regular duck
that's why the resturants pay so much for them .....and in turn CHARGE so much for them

our ducks are pets
we feed them baby spinach, romaine lettuce, duck food, alfalfa pellets, cracked corn, sweet feed, bean leaves, pepper leaves, peppers, and bugs from the garden.

they meet me at the gate wagging their tails and lifting their little crests looking for treats
and they normally GET treats

for them and the chickens i hunt around and find as much green weeds during winter as i can


can you all say....'spoiled birds'

yes i knew you could.....



now with the heat wave here, naturally i realized that i have to get the garden started
EVEN if we move....... i still need to start the garden
just in case you know
i am going to put a few plants in large barrels just in case....
we can take them with us
i found a jam pumpkin from italy, which naturally being italian, AND loving pumpkins, i just HAVE TO GROW.......it's a real need you know

i will be very very glad when we are settled in a new place...i look forward to a much larger garden plus orchard there


ok one more thing
i put adsense on the blog.....it doesn't cost you all anything.....
or me anything
so i figured it couldn't hurt
i also opened the blog up publicly again
last year was a rough year for us
and i noticed that i was being stalked by a rather unpleasant and obviously mentally ill person ( yes i 'know' who they are, but won't say publicly)
so i closed the blog.
if you didn't have a direct link you wouldn't find it
now it's open again
and i am back to posting almost every day

ps: today is NEW MOON

til next time
