We Have Ducks!


Our chickens moved in with our goat (that's another story), so for the past few weeks we (mostly Doug) have been working on redoing the chicken pen into a duck pen. We (I) thought that it would be fun for David and Evonne to raise some ducklings as pets (it's not easy to find some thing they aren't allergic to). David and Evonne liked the idea, so yesterday we brought home four ducklings (three girls and one mystery). Three of the ducks are Cayuga Ducks. According to Mandy's research, they will eventually have a greenish sheen to their feathers. The females will eventually turn white as they get older (I can relate to that). The other duck is a Khaki who, as it's name implies is a khaki color. The first thing we learned about ducks is that they are too smelly to keep in the house. They will live in the garage until they get their feathers and can live in their newly remodeled duck pad.

Dad got a duck, too (he did build their home)

Drying off after the swim (I hope they learn to do this themselves)




All dry and fluffy again.





I can't wait until they turn green!

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
