HA! Never thought I'd hear him say THAT...

Quote: Ooh! What does he play?
My sweetie plays bluegrass - flatpicks a mean guitar, plays mandolin, banjo...everything - and plays in one of the biggest bluegrass bands in Portland, Maine (They've been at it 16 years!). He also teaches traditional music at a music school here. I played mandolin for the last 6 years but have taken up stand-up bass this winter & really enjoy it. It is handy to have a music teacher in the house, but my folks played bluegrass all throughout my childhood so a lot of it is second nature. (My Mom gave me her old bass this winter, which was given her by my Uncle on my Dad's side, who got it from my Godfather, so bluegrass runs in the family.)


Quote: I've always heard great things about them. I have a friend in N.H. who raises them & will probably get some from her.
How have you found them to be? Good foragers? Good layers? Friendly?
I have only heard rave reviews, but always thought the next ducks I got would be Welshies. But, even in the cold light of day he's sitting right here looking at fence aprons... I am also about to order some from my friend because he says we "don't want it to get TOO late in the season,".

Seriously, something fishy is going on here.

Several months back my husband said "It's too quiet in the basement"

"Huh?"

"You know, baby birds, usually there's something crying at me when I take a shower"

"So what are you saying?"

"I dunno, when are you going to hatch something again?"

I can't believe I didn't buy any eggs on the spot! I finally caved and bought some Serama eggs this week and set a couple from Miss Quackers too in case none of the shipped eggs hatch, something will still talk to him when he takes a shower.

He's come around nicely, training complete! He suggested birds for an anniversary present too! I said Cream Legbars, stated price, and he didn't bat an eye!

Sometimes he even goes outside and takes care of the birds all on his own. Granted he isn't as thorough as I am, but it's the thought that counts. He stole my cat from me too, by giving him special belly rubs. All this from the guy that never cared much for animals.

I have Cayugas. Yup, they're gorgeous ducks and drakes. I love watching mine. Ducks are always smiling, haven't you noticed? They are just the happiest goofs!

And I'm always smiling when I'm watching them! I love ducks.

KitchenGirl- He's a drummer. In fact, his guitar player friend and him were keeping me up last night. UGH!
Love the bluegrass roots!
