We are safe at Mom’s place. We took our dog Rory, pet cats Pippin and Paladin, and the six ducklings, since they can’t stay on their own for more than a day. The older ducks and feral cats can fend for themselves; the chickens should be fine for a few days.

On the homestead blog: powerless and a duckling issue. 🦆

On the homestead blog: 17 photos of ducklings today (I usually aim for 8-10), plus a GIF with those and 25 more taken today. 🦆

On the homestead blog: hey duckling fans! Some different angles today, plus a GIF of snuggly ducklings. 🦆

On the homestead blog: another hot day, though not as hot as yesterday. I restrained myself on the duckling pictures, though. 🦆

On the homestead blog: time has no meaning at present, but the all-powerful overlord CAL-N-DAR informs me it is Friday… so time for pictures of chickens and adult ducks. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓


On the homestead blog: it’s a hot day today, so I went out to the duck house a few times to refresh their pool water… so I ended up with 40 photos. And just for fun, after the usual selections, I’m going to share a GIF of all of them! 🦆
