As promised, I video'd the runner ducks (new and old) this weekend.
You will notice that they are not out free ranging at the present time.
The reason for this is two-fold.
First, we have lost a couple more chickens to the foxes,
so, all of the poultry are confined to their yards.
Secondly, the babies are too young to be wandering
willy-nilly all over the farm.
Waiting until these twelve are well bonded, and the youngsters
are full grown is the safest course of action.
You can view the video HERE, if it doesn't show up automatically.
We had a rather busy weekend.
On Friday, a dear friend and I headed to Pittsburgh for Vintage Market Days.
We had a wonderful time strolling through aisles of vintage vendors.
Luckily, I drove our truck... because I found this wonderful cart:
which is now parked at the entrance to our barn driveway...
filled with flowers.
For autumn, I will fill it with mums and pumpkins.
I also found this...
And in case you cannot tell what is underneath that mass of greenery,
it's an antique porcelain bedpan.
Yes, I love a little medical humor.
Did I ever tell you that I use an old urine collection glass as a creamer?
Don't worry, I sterilized it first!!
I also saw these garden markers...
which I did not purchase,
because... I can make them.
These are going to be a winter project for next summer's garden.
I also thought that this was a really great idea...
using old music books as place mats!
Saturday, Hubbs and I attended the State College Festival of the Arts.
We strolled the streets of Hubbs' college town
amazed by the creativity of others.
The remainder of the weekend was spent enjoying our own little
corner of the world... our favorite place of all!
Oh, how I love bringing in fresh flowers from the garden.
If only they bloomed all year long!
But, I wouldn't trade our changing seasons for all the flowers in the world.
