hello to all. i hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. we did a lot of baby duck loving yesterday. it was a day that i was thankful for.
it saddens me to say that not all of our beautifull babies made it. 3 were dead when i open the box. green arrow died a few hours later, and will died, too. will's name was lover first (farmer son 1 named her) but she had such a will to live that we changed her name. she tried so hard! even though it was just a little time of knowing her, she touched us. hopefully everyone else will survive. they seem to be doing great!
farmer son 1 put it perfectly. he said that he was sad that will died. but he was so happy that we had everyone else. i agree with him. it's sad that death is part of life, but it is also something that make you realize what you have and to appreciate and focus on that. i hope that our life here on our homestead will give them a greater appreciation and awareness of the world around them. i like to think so.
tomorrow we are doing a lot more of baby duck loving with a ton more pictures and i'll share the other 25 names with you. the farmer sons named them all. goodness help me.
til next time,
farmer mom
