Took 5 gallon buckets of water around to the trees I planted in the pasture and my luffa that's out by the chickens. All of that stuff is too far away to reach with a hose... Although DH fixed 1 of the 2 hoses that are broken. The remaining one that isn't fixed is beyond repair and needs chucked. At least I got a few things watered tonight. I will water the garden in the morning since I didn't have time to do it tonight before the sun went down.
I went out to the duck coop to change the water in their baby pool and realized one of my duck hens hatched a duckling!
I'm so excited! It's our first duckling... All the other attempts our ducks have made have failed. I think because it gets sooooo hot and their coop has terrible ventilation. This new mama actually built her nest inside a child's playhouse that I put out there as a little shelter. I tossed some straw in it thinking the chickens might lay in there and the duck hen took it over. She's been sitting on eggs in there since early May! I've saved her eggs from 2 giant rat snakes in the past few weeks. So glad to see she finally had some hatching success... Now I'll have to keep her in the duck yard for a bit because I'm worried the snapping turtles will kill her baby if she takes it down to the pond.
