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. 🦆
Video: ducks on the new floating wooden island. 📹🦆
On the homestead blog: your weekly flock update. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
The Micro.blog challenge word(s) for day 18 are “at home”. Our ducks seem quite at home with their new floating pond island. 🏝🦆📷 #mbfeb
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 15 is “reflection”. A reflection in the pond of the ducks sleeping on the bank, amongst melting icy residue of the snow. ❄️🦆📷 #mbfeb
On the homestead blog: more pictures from our ice storm: generator, chickens, ducks, bees. ❄️🔌🐓🦆🐝❄️
On the homestead blog: some photos of icy branches, icicles, ducks, and hummingbirds. ❄️🦆🐦❄️
The hummingbirds have been very hungry today; I’ve already refilled the feeder twice, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I need to do it again. With the snow, the heated feeder is probably all they’ve got. Plus, duck footprints in the snow. ❄️🐦🦆❄️
A couple of aerial photos from my drone of the snowy landscape around our pond and wider homestead. Not a huge amount of snow so far. You can see the new pond island in the center of the pond, and ducks nearby. ❄️🦆
