I am cutting the hay today. Interesting that when I decide to cut hay EVERYONE says ok whatever you say. No-one else wants the responsibility. But I have four dry days in the forecast and some beautiful leaf in the fields and no hay at all in the barns. So I am calling it. We are cutting the hay.
I bought the ducklings a present yesterday …They have been so traumatized by that ‘possum.
I thought this would help them with their nerves.
They could not believe their eyes when I let them back in. Out of water the little ducks are so ungainly but floating and playing and diving down and back up, shaking and grooming themselves, flapping their baby wings, they look perfect. Domestic ducks may not need a body of water but OH they love it!
All happy and did not want to go to bed at bedtime.
Good morning! Of course, the pool is a bonkers idea. It is going to take quite some cleaning out – often, and no-ne else can fit through the little door into their run to help me empty it but there you are – they are happy which makes me happy.
Now, back to worrying about the weather!
Have a lovely day.

You can see happiness all over those ducks. And, I have to say, it cheered me up quite a bit to see that. Which I needed.
Wishing you the very best of LUCK with making hay while the sun shines, C!
Poor babies; what a great present to take their minds off the bloody possum: )
I like your “No Diving” sign … ducks are hilarious
The duck soup is quite well-stocked
I love the pictures of the ducklings perched on the cement bricks getting ready to get in. They’re like kids at a kiddy pool. You’re a wonderful person giving them this treat after the loss of 2 of their number. Fingers crossed that you get 4 warm and dry days for drying out the hay.
Great post 🙂
Getting a pool for the ducks is an act of compassion 💕If I was closer I would help you clean it out. x
I keep my pool for duckings , not ducklings! Very little space for humans, there!
They’ve taken to it like ducks to water… 🤓
I have a pool like that for my ducks. I cut a hole in the lower part of one side and with a conglomeration of pvc pipe pieces and rubber gaskets I have a drain with a cap and it doesn’t leak. I can unscrew the cap and run most of the water out then tip it to empty the rest and hose it out. Works like a charm and I only had to spend a half hour or so cruising the plumbing parts and pieces at the hardware store!
They look so happy! 🙂
All 18 in at once!! I’d say that’s a win ❤
Yes! All good
Made my day ✔ (good ideas for draining too; great minds, as you say)
Hullo Albert. I am going to set up a draining hose this weekend and trial the theory. It can rain AFTER tomorrow for phase two
Oh my! That looks SO silly! What will they do when they get too big for everyone to fit?
I laughed out loud when I saw this! Oh you are gorgeous Celi .. your ducklings will love it. Good to be bonkers! 😃
