SKY

The sky was a kaleidoscope yesterday. Frequently shaken.
There was no rain to speak of. Just the occasional rise in humidity as the clouds formed and reformed and moved off and moved in then moved off above us.

(I almost had to post without my photos this morning – they are increasingly slow to load into my media file- sometimes as long as an hour – there is something wrong with my system and I need to focus on it later today – but it is wasting my time and I hate to waste time! I will put my favourite up onto Instagram so scroll down and see it there soon. Problems with programs is SO BORING!)

Anna and I got all the work done that we wanted done then raided the garden and cooked good food. img_4018

Today I will begin to retrain the ducks to their new area in the barn. We have cleaned in the barn and sorted things out and I want to herd the ducks into the barn at night time now. I will start that tonight but I am not sure if it will work. They will go where they are herded of course. So I will begin with feeding them in there every evening.  They graze right beside the barn door I want them to come and go from but it will be interesting to see if they stay in there or just fly back out in the night and return to their old sleeping area. They have outgrown their little shelter in the field though. img_4020

Three eggs were laid yesterday. So they need to move – that space is way too small for ducks to be waddling about and laying and stepping on each others eggs with their big flat feet. img_4022img_4024

  1. My goodness! How breathtakingly beautiful! But sometimes ominously so. Glad no bad storms came out of those! Hope the ducks cooperated.

  2. One of your best. Snappy phrases with a light touch make the pictures real; pictures fill out the story, telling of the layers of reality. (With a recording of you speaking these words, the effect would be complete. A special art form. Fit for our portable museums, accessible to all, open forever.)

  3. first there was one..then there were two and now there are three….not just duck eggs..but your posts… Everyday I watch out for it so how did I miss two days? But three duck eggs ! wow another few and you could set up shop! I have never tried duck egg but I suppose they are the same as a chook just bigger. Its good to know that Anna has returned to help you…how long will she stay… Stay cool Miss C love from BG

  4. You have the most dramatic skies in IL, never like that in coastal CT.
    I hope the ducks cooperate without too much difficulty.

  5. WOW!!! I didn’t see any clouds like that yesterday and I was out mowing till about 6p or later!!! Love these shots ~ Fabulous!!!

  6. Your sky photos and formations at sunset at the Oregon Coast – my favorites. Makes one feel very little indeed! Thank you for taking the time to share them! Hi, Anna! Welcome back!
