Seriously though.

The harvests in August took all my attention, so the weeds had a party. They were heading to seed and we can't have that. So dinner was an hour later and the weeds in the strawberry beds got pulled. I find that I am easily distracted this year, especially by weeds.

Second clutch of the year for this momma Muscovy. 13 babies this time.

Her parents are Princess and Freddie (second slide) and these ducklings are sired by Dewey (third slide).

I do not want to process ducks in the middle of winter so these guys and gals are up for grabs. Located in Hyde Park. Please reach out with questions or interest.

What, exactly, was he thinking?!

Did you know that most people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are never usually diagnosed? It's true! They don't generally see a problem with their behavior and therefore don't seek help.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the two sides are arms of the same monster in my opinion.

We will continue to teach HOMES in our homeschool in spite of how digital maps are now labeled.

What do you think about the renaming of major bodies of water by a certain Commander in Chief?

Teaching us to square dance was such a necessary life skill. 🙄

One day most young adult kids are having to get a pass to use the restroom and the next we are sending them off into the world completely unprepared to navigate it.

When I began homeschooling 16 years ago, the naysayers asked me how my child was going to handle real life without experiencing public school. It's safe to say I think we did ok, seeing as how our homeschool was literally immersed in real life.

Lots of folks have been asking how we transition our momma Muscovy ducks from their coop nests to the mobile poultry tractors.

In this video we show you what we do. Please feel free to ask any questions.

My biggest piece of advice: Keep the mother's rear end pointing away from you. She will projectile 💩 and you don't want to wear it.

Also be sure that whatever you're transporting ducklings in has appropriate bedding in the bottom to prevent splay leg.

We move ducks with their babies when hatching is complete and when she naturally moves them off the nest for food and water.
