It has been over a year since the last post.  Life has kept me away from the digital world, but the ducks and gardens keep on.  The ducks remain a wonderful reason to rise and shine.  They are part of my daily rhythm.  Wake up.  Fill duck water, food, let ducks out of coop.  Work rest of day.  Before bed, walk ducks to their coop.  Clean up their dishes.  Sleep.  Repeat.  The two black cayuga ducks are starting to get white feathers.  They "grey" as they age.  In the next couple of years they will become mostly white.

April brought egg laying season.

Lots of eggs over the summer.

They still love their mini pool. 

Cooling off.  

Fall in the new duck pen.  

I added leaves from our front yard Maple tree for the ducks to forage in.  

Foraging for bugs.  

Then came a mild winter.
