Ducky updated, etc.

Just a few weeks later, she's a teenager! And definitely a she, not a drake.
Her grownup voice came to her-- instead of infantile peeps, she quacks-- and drakes don't quack, DUCKS do.
Mama hen is still acting like a mama to her.
These are the gi-normous pumpkins I planted in my lambing barn yard. The first five got eaten by Lily and Poppy the naughty bored twins who were quarantined in that yard after their county fair adventure. (Did I mention that they came home coughing from that fair? It never fails-- it makes me want to keep 'em all at home!)
Anyway, we threw the five pumpkins to the big sheep flock, and now these next five are big-- but will they ripen this month?

Here's some little ramlings who're quarantined by the pumpkins this week. They are all horned boys who are looking for homes; I think one or two is about to get lucky!

Ducky is HUGE compared to what I was expecting. That whole store is just so neat. And she is a pretty duck. :)

Gail I simply adore the Ducky sagas. I know how common it is to put these combos together, but there is something so tremendously cute about these two. I think its the runner look to Ducky compared to Mama's roundness.

Thanks for routinely making my day.

What a wonderful Mama Mrs. Hen is! You've got to wonder what she thinks about her strange child's behaviors...
