Baby ducks and geese aren't babies anymore...

I went out to the garage tonight to get a watering can, and saw those baby ducks and geese up close. Well, they aren't babies anymore. After a week or so of being outside and eating whatever grass, weeds and bugs they can pick up, they have grown almost double in just this week! I'll have to take a picture of them...they are still cute, but look more like adolescents than babies. But, it is good for them because the bigger they get, the less likely they are to be eaten by some hawk or other predator. I'm sure they will eventually be put into the chicken tractor, but for now, they sure are enjoying being outside, and I feel less concerned because they are less likely to be dinner for someone else! (Of course, I still have to keep in mind that they will be 'our' dinner sometime...but for now, at least, they are enjoying their lives in the outdoors, and snug in their pen at night...)

I'm still going through old VCR movies, so that keeps me entertained. Some I will want to replace with DVDs, but others will just be watched one more time, and then donated to Goodwill...  

David went to a gathering of 'beer-makers' from the area. It was to be a bring-your-own food picnic at George Wyth Park, and I'm sure he's in his element, talking to other beer-makers about how they do their process. Right now, rhubarb is the brew bubbling in our laundry room, but he has hops growing near the garden, so I'm sure there will be some new recipes to try, once he gets acquainted with these folks.

Well, the dog is barking, so I guess David is back home, and I want to go watch 'Doc Martin' on PBS, so I'll sign off for now...
