➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[debid]

Hubby shocked me this morning by saying that he'd been watching the shelter pages and one of them has a bunch of kittens, did I want to go look? Um, yes! This adorable tabby boy is ~10 weeks. He demonstrated the lap cat and hunting skills for us so I refused to leave without him.

Congrats! He's very cute.

Also Theia stalking a squirrel, nat. geo style. I just need some dramatic David Attenborough voiceover. “Death comes swiftly on fluffy paws.”

I love the way the yellow repeats in this one. There is a great variety in the collection with color but also structure and size.
Congratulations on your class grade! Well done young lady!

Now selecting his name...
Grandma Montgomery used to say tabby cats always belonged to her girls because of the M on the forehead.

he must have a name that starts with M.
I did not notice that M until you said so.
Weird.

Good morning!
Was out picking the Ozark Premier plums at daylight. (Hubby likes to eat his just shy of ripe so I pick some "green" for him) Then sorted out plums already ripe or pecked by the cardinals to the ripe plums I already had in the fridge. That's canned OPP juice under the counter. These plums are table plums.

Cut and cooked. Had some sand plums set aside too so cooked them separately. Look at the lovely colors.
Sand plum on the left, Premier on the right.

And dill seed air drying for storage.

Going out now to weed wack and mow the yard and garden.
Then I need to clean the brooders and move juvies to the grow out pen and move chicks to the brooder room.
Hopefully will get done before the day gets too hot.
Canning the juice this afternoon is a nice inside task.
BBL

Didn't get the chicks moved or cleaned the brooders.
But got everything else done. We got a rain right after I mowed.
Boys were taking four heifers to the vet this morning for cow shots and check up. Hubby knew to leave the birds locked up because of my plan for today. BIL thought hubby forgot to let them out and opened the coop door letting all the juvies go free ranging. No problem...tomorrow is a better drier day.

Pond-ering the duck choices. Work keeps getting in the way. It would be easier if all y'all moved closer.
