Ginger and I take two or three walks a day, this morning was really beautiful. We received 6 inches of snow and it is light and fluffy. The sunrise was really great. We spent the weekend in Hatcher Pass and the night at the Van Hemert cabin, really nice. Now it is running errands and getting things cleaned up around the house, on the weeks I work things really get ignored.
I have only this Friday and next Friday left of work, oh the excitement is hard to contain!!!
Good news, the chickens have been laying up to 7 eggs a day! Seth designed a very fancy duck water bucket to reduce their mess and made some really nice cozy hay beds for chickens and ducks alike.
The bad news, when Ginger and I went to check on the flock this morning I realized Mrs. Hitachi is missing. She must've flown out of the yard is all I can tell? Yesterday while reading National Geographic on the couch something hit the window and scared us, it was Shipper, she flew out of the chicken yard and straight into the front window! She seems fine, she did have a flat spot on her head there for an afternoon. So it has been a rough week for the ducks. We will just have to keep an eye out for Mrs. Hitachi on our walks, although it is very cold and snowy out so I feel sick that she is not doing well. Domesticated ducks just don't do well in deep snow with no corn and heating light.
I also include a picture of my two chummy pets Spy and Ginger, they give each other a little sniff in the morning when going out but lately Spy has taken to rubbing up under Ginger, Ginger is unsure what to do with such public displays of affection.
