Falling Down Heights, my daily life

Picture heavy, so I'll put as attachments.

Just decided to take some pics of various plants/flowers this morning.

These are all 'wild' flowers growing around the property.

We have those little purple ones too at the end

Those are Dianthus armeria, or Deptford Pink. I like them, the tiny flowers are cute.

Forecast calls for a WHOLE WEEK without rain! Damn, now I have to do outdoor work...

On another note, two juvenile Muscovy drakes are growing in their flight feathers and it's hilarious to watch them walk around with droopy wings! They're the only type of birds I ever saw have this issue.

Welp, now I know why that pullet keeps picking on the white Chanteler cockerel.

SIX cockerels!!! Out of EIGHT chicks!!!

I hurt all over. Been doing some yard work for the past couple of days. Yesterday, I cut down a bunch of dead branches on a large spruce tree, then proceeded to break all those branches down into firestarting kindling.

My hands are stiff and refuse to close without pain. Last night, I had muscle spasms in my forearm and the front part of my calf.

It took all my will power to get out there and do my morning chores.

Been having an issue with a mouse in my car, getting into the feed bucket (I keep feed in there since I can't use it right now due to needing brakes which I can't afford). So last night I put the bucket in, but with a few inches of water. This morning, the chickens had a treat.

A bluejay got caught in some netting around the duck pen. After a bit of a struggle, it calmed down as I extricated it gently. Poor thing. It flew off and cawed at me a few times. Not sure if it was in thanks or if it was scolding me!

I think everyone except Jacin has lost the thread...

Felt better today so I managed to get a new enclosure done for the ducklings. That's nine more out of the trailer! But now my whole body is sore again.

Depending on how my recovery is, I hope to do something for the chickens tomorrow.

I think you're correct

I think you're correct

Makes me wonder if I should keep up this blog...

Thunderstorms and possible tornadoes this afternoon. I went out and gave the ducklings a bit more shelter, although the enclosure is mostly under large trees so they should be safe.

If it gets bad though, I'll need to run out and grab the geese. That's another thing on my to-do list, make them a proper house.
