Every morning when I let the chickens out of their henhouse,
the roosters have one (and only one) thing on their mind!
They frantically chase the hens around, hoping one will oblige.
I've watched my hens adapt to this behavior in a very interesting way....
they get out of the way....way out!
Yes, these smart gals take to the trees to escape the amorous roos.
Pretty smart, yes?
The ducks, on the other hand are not proving to be very smart this Spring.
Some of them have been laying eggs in the pond.
I am guessing that last year's ducklings have begun laying eggs.
I suspect that a few of them don't realize what is happening...
and drop their eggs while they are swimming.
Silly quackers!
So, every morning I am fishing water-logged eggs out of the pond.
(and tossing them!)
We are still in the throws of Spring weather...temps in the 70's by afternoon.
I am having a blast...early gardening!
The dogs....well, they always have fun....
I thought I would share an idea with you...
an idea that I found on that wonderfully delicious, albeit time-wasting, website "Pinterest".
Did you know that if you put the very end of a stalk of celery in water...
that you will grow a new stalk of celery???
It's true!!
Once it grows roots it will be planted in soil.
This grows so fast you can almost see it growing in front of your eyes.
Try it!
At the price of organic celery, you can get 2 for 1!

I'm envious of your weather. As I write , I can hear the wind blowing pretty hard and we're expecting more rain. Big surprise huh. We live in Oregon. But, I tell myself if we didn't have all this rain it wouldn't be so pretty and green.
I am envious of your weather...enjoy!

I didn't know about the celery..Interesting..The weather has been perfect for outdoor work..Mollie started panting yesterday..She's not used to warmth yet...I might have to mow the front yard..The grass is 8"-10" high and we definitely need some rain...

I have seen the celery thing on Pinterest too. I must try it!!
Ducks certainly do not discriminate when it comes to where they lay their eggs, I find them in the creek, on the bank and even in a basket on the porch ( where a little orange hen lays hers each day)
