On the homestead blog: this morning we woke up to some surprise snow, so of course I felt an urge to fly my drone to capture the winter wonderland. 🚁❄️

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 24 is “baby”. Look what I spotted on the floating pond island: duck eggs! These probably aren’t fertilized, but now that they are starting to lay, we may have baby ducklings before long. 🦆🥚📷 #mbfeb
On the Dejal blog: is this the last beta of Dejal Simon 5.0? Let’s find out!
Here is my second very short TikTok video, featuring our chickens.

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 23 is “banana”. We don’t have any bananas at present, so I searched my photo library for a picture… close, photos app, but these are not bananas. 🚫🍌📷 #mbfeb
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 22 is “spell”. Back around age 13 (I think) I enjoyed writing short sci-fi stories, laboriously typing them on my mother’s manual typewriter (before I had a computer with a printer). But my spelling wasn’t that great. 📷 #mbfeb
I started posting 15 second videos of our homestead on TikTok, and I thought I’d cross-post here. If you use TikTok, you can follow the homestead @YellowCottageHomestead. Here’s the first one.
Four pictures from my evening rounds of the ducks in our pond, including Bert and Rémy on the floating island. 🦆
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 21 is “colors”. Here’s a picture of our custom chicken coop from the recent ice storm, with the translucent icicles and white snow adding to the many colors of the coop, inspired by Caribbean houses. 📷 #mbfeb
Paladin sat next to Pippin, which could be sweet, but inevitably means hassling long-suffering Pip. Pip was swishing his tail in annoyance, which Paladin thought was a fun toy. (Photo and two GIFs.) 🐈
