Mom and Dad's Anniversary!

August 10th was my parents' anniversary. I went with them. We went to the Macaroni Grill in St. Louis and then we did a some shopping. At the Macaroni Grill you can draw on the tables!

Here's some photos of the drawings I drew on the table.

 When we parked at the grocery store I saw geese land in the parking lot. My dad and I drove by and saw them. 

This is a video I took of the geese flying away! I counted 47 geese!

I'm not sure why but I love the sounds geese make!

Rosie's nest!

I asked a question about Rosie laying her eggs on a site called Back Yard Chickens. I got very good information!  She won't sit seriously on her eggs until her nest is full! She can lay between 7 to 15 eggs! When she starts sitting on her nest all day and night I will start counting 28 days! When she gets serious about incubating her eggs, she will line her nest with down from her belly to make a very soft blanket.

This is a picture I took today of Rosie's nest. It's hard to see her eggs.

Roise is going to be a mom!

Last Friday I was checking to see if the bottom of the duck coop needed cleaning. I found a nest in the corner of the coop with two duck eggs in it! She has been laying egg every morning. Yesterday, she laid her fourth egg! Last night my dad and I went to check on the goats since they are getting close to kidding. I don't want to miss their birth! While we were outside I checked the ducks and Rosie was sitting on her eggs! She is now done laying her eggs and is incubating them. When her eggs hatch I am going to keep one female duckling and sell the others. 

I will post new pictures of all four eggs in her nest.

Girl time! (With the goats)

I let the girls (goats) walk around the yard loose while I watched them. They enjoyed it!

Lilly enjoying the grass. 

The ducks thought they would join us too.

 Lilly tried also!

Animals!

The goats and the ducks. Lilly and Tilly are in separate pens, 

so when their kids are born, they can have alone time with them.

They love each other. 

Lilly feeling better!

Lilly is finally feeling better. She started eating again and is interested in her food. 

Tilly has been acting different now!
