Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Minced is one of the few pies I don't like... I don't like raisins.





That's why you're supposed to eat it first... Duh!

my mom won't let me....

We binge-watched the whole final season of Longmire yesterday and today. Between trips outside, etc.

Got most of the leaves blow off the call duck netting too, they were getting heavy and sagging the net.

Other than that, just been kind of a depressing day. Can't help breaking out in tears every so often, poor little ducks. At least i hope the found each other.

Sour, according to the lady they came from, they never attempted escape. She never had them out at all, because of dogs. So i can see why they wanted to be free. I hope their wild instincts are enough to keep them safe.
Now i have no idea what to do with the 2 I have left.

I admit that I am the only one who eats the mince pie. It's mine, all mine.

I like mince pie...

Just heard back from my aunt on the chickens. She doesn't think he's quite ready for the responsibility yet, but maybe next year!

Also, apparently he really likes spending time with me and learning about the chickens, because I actually talk to him like he's a person and, unfortunately, his parents don't do a lot of that So she actually suggested his gift be a 'coupon' from me for something where we spend time together, like taking care of my birds with me or going to the movies.

I'm thinking I'll get him something physical too, but also tell him I'll take him to the chicken show I'll be entering in May

They were probably more settled at her place because it was 'home'. Once moved to your place their wild instincts and desire to escape were triggered. As a teen I bought a pair of wood ducks. I kept them in a fairly large pheasant pen. For the first month or so I rarely saw them. They were constantly hiding. They eventually tamed somewhat. I decided to license them with the state. Turns out the guy I bought them from was not licensed to have them so the state came and seized them. The guy who came to get them was very apologetic, but he was bound by the law. So as you can see my experience with wood ducks wasn't real pleasant either.
