Spring Delight

         

 

Dodger’s online!! The ducklings hatched this time!! I was able to go to 4-H states competition with the ducklings in my arms. Blue ribbons again and cute balls of down to cuddle! The fist one I saw I fell in love with, she is a Jumbo Pekin and I named her “Cheesecake”. Right now they’re about two weeks old and are GROWING. And when I say GROWING I mean it. I swear I can see Cheesecake getting bigger every second. Right now they’re in a big plastic storage container and are going to need an enclosure SOON! We’re designing the coop part to be made mostly out of pallets, and the running area out of some 6 foot fence we have left over from our chicken run. Today they were swimming in the paddling pool we gave them while we were working on the garden.

          My play went pretty well. It was The Little Mermaid and I was a sailor, a chef, and a stingray. As momasquash said in her last post, my stingray costume had a mind of its own, although in the end it was okay. Everyone says that my role as chef was perfection, “Great expression, love the straight fingers.” Sailor was practically ripping the stingray costume off of me as soon as the play was over to try it on! He wears it all the time now.

          We all are working on get our gardens in the ground. Last night I found out there was no need to have done the watering that I had just finished as a raging electric storm came through, “I hope the plants are OK.” Momasquash told me this morning. Well I guess that’s it, I’ll be back soon - Dodger
