Ha. I am in East texas. Palm trees, swamp, pine trees and lots of forest.. It's called the piney woods.

Yep! Can be pretty wet around H-Town! - Do you have Palmettos on your property? - I love heart of palm!

I know! We sat out "Ike" in College Station, it wasn't even raining there…

I was living about 25 miles west southwest of there at the time. We got rain and wind but the electric company got power from Louisiana. We had power out about a week from it.

No duckling update today, i spent six hours on the flea-market to sell just two dozen eggs, caught a cold and sunburn on the same day and needed to rest until it was time for the ducks to go to bed, but:
Tomorrow will be graduation day!
Momma duck and i agree that time for elementary-school is over and it is time to change to high-school, so after their breakfast the ducklings will be released to the fenced-in area around the house.
Katharina leaves the small enclosure so frequently and does her duck chores that i am afraid the bond between mother and duckling will be broken if i keep the little ones limited to their "brooder" for much longer. They are ½ the size of their mom, that must do it! Will make a video of the little ones exploring the big world tomorrow…

We lost power to our house for five days, it was like in the old times: Getting up at dusk, going to sleep at dawn…
