Our Duck, Mr. Piggy, turned out to be a Mrs. and she lays eggs! Really big eggs! Here is a picture of a duck egg next to a chicken egg. Poor thing, no wonder she sits in her wading pool all day long.
Oh, how I wish my strawberry patch looked like this!
We had great fun making a trip to this huge strawberry field with our good friends. There were strawberries as far as the eye could see. I am contemplating digging up my 40 strawberry plants, and raising up the dirt bed, and planting them closer to together. We will see. I know a scarecrow is in order. I frequently find little parties of birds in my stawberries feasting away.

As more and more starts sprouting in our garden, and I see more fresh produce being sold, I am feeling inspired to do some canning. This year I would really like to do pickles. I am also planning on doing peaches and jellies. Tomorrow we are going to go on a nature hunt, and with all the things Caillou collects,we are going to attempt to make a bird's nest.
Mornin' my friend...
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...your little Caillou and Jasper are just precious in the strawberry patch! Looks like Jasper likes his strawberries...too cute!!! Ohhh my...whatever are you going to do with a goose egg? Hehe! You know, I am a country girl too but I've never been around ducks! Are you going to fry an egg? Hehe!
Just thought I would stop by this morning and say hello!!!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
That is a large egg to lay! Have you tasted one yet? How are your goats doing? I am surprised they don't eat the eggs before you can gather them.

I love making jams and preserves. Since this last year one of my new fav hobbies!!!
ReplyDeleteIndeed the wading pool would be a must for Mrs. Duck! Nothing beats canning your own home grown bounty!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun, I wish I could go back to the days when my boys were that small... The strawberries looks so good.
