On the homestead blog: a bunch of aerial photos from my drone. Also for the final Micro.blog photo challenge word; day 31 is “love” (suggested by @vincent). While it’s a lot of work, and there are parts I don’t like, I love the landscaping of our homestead. 📷🚁 #mbaug

The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 30 is “discovery” (suggested by @matthewlang). I noticed the filler valve for the small pond was running non-stop, so likely leaking by overflowing the liner. Looking under a tree, I made a discovery, and fixed it. 📷 #mbaug
A bonus picture for the Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 29, “flake” (suggested by kurite). For my afternoon snack today, I ate one of my hoarded Cadbury Flake chocolate bars, a fave from my NZ days, imported from the UK. 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 29 is “flake” (suggested by kurite). After mealworms, the all-time favorite treat of our chickens are flakes of rice. They love strawberries, too, but ignore those till they’ve eaten all the rice. 📷🍓🍚🐓 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 28 is “emotions” (suggested by @dominikhoecht). Caring for animals like pet and feral cats plus ducks and chickens involves a lot of work and emotions, including joy at their cuteness, and eventually sadness. 📷🐈🦆🐓 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 27 is “overcome” (suggested by @GregMorris). Spotted flying overhead recently: a paraglider that has overcome gravity to cruise the skies. 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 26 is “relentless” (suggested by @poetalegre). I can’t think of anything more relentless around the homestead than bamboo. I recently cut this grove to the ground, and it keeps on sprouting new stalks. 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 25 is “hope” (suggested by maique). This morning I tried to hand-feed leafy treats to the ducklings for the first time, with a hope that they’d take it. Spoiler: they did (more in tonight’s duckling post). 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 24 is “frosty” (suggested by @canion). It isn’t frosty weather here at present, so searching my photo archive revealed this frosty beverage with a foldable straw from our trip to Mexico last year (remember travel?). 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 23 is “graceful” (suggested by @jensaplin). There’s no cat more graceful than Paladin. 📷🐈 #mbaug
