Are all chocolate muscovies like that or did you just hit the jackpot?!

The breeder that I got her from breeds for this type of coloring with the iridescent sheen. Her adults were stunning.

I'm Italian, myself - born and raised with people who "no speaka too gooda da Inglish!" This "No Huggin" thing is KILLIN' ME!

Back in the day the first day of school each year was always fun when teachers tried to pronounce my first and last name. My daughter I think was a little embarrassed in grade school but now I'm pretty sure if someone made fun of her last name she'd beat them down lol. She really cherishes her Italian heritage and I am so glad.

I'm always amazed at what people see in the wood of the lamps I make.
This lamp is called Tree Spirit. On the front there is a face in the top left corner which doesn't really show unless the lamp is on. These are pictures of the lamp not quite finished.
So, if you see a face on the back I guess she's the tree spirit.

Sundays are interestingly different now. Drove past a local church and the pastor was on the porch and a handful of people were parked spaced out with one person sitting behind their truck in a lawn chair. Another man we know who is a preacher has started doing sermons online- has one on YouTube and mostly on Facebook. He’s reached a huge audience of people outside of his church. For religious services, it seems a broader audience is tuning in and more people are curious about the Bible.

In a non-religious aspect, the hometown grocer has been limiting to ten customers in the store at a time which is odd to see as they usually are always full. Thrift stores are closed down which was something we liked to do on weekends- go yard sale hunting and thrift store browsing. Work is at a halt, eye doctor won’t see clients...but in the positives- a lot more time with family and a lot more time for baking! Lemon pound cake in the oven as we speak.

Y’all stay safe and healthy.

Seems like the UK may have finally worked out that all those useless immigrants are what actually keeps the country running.

Hi. When you are ready, give me a shout. I used to have dairy goats, plus Nigerians, and have a little bit of experience with meat goats. Guinea Hogs too.
I'm doing my best to avoid the news as well and focus on what needs doing around my little farm.

We're getting pretty serious about both goats and the Guinea Hogs!! I've been talking about them to my husband for several years, but the coronavirus has made him more interested. I think he enjoys the chickens almost as much as I do, which helps. We have 5 acres and a barn surrounded by an overgrown barbed-wire cattle fence, so if two non-carpenter types can figure out a way to erect proper fencing without going bankrupt, I think we may take the plunge. At this point, I don't even know enough to ask proper questions, so I'm researching as much as I can. If you know of any books or online resources that are particularly helpful, I'm all ears.
