My apologies for my absence. We have been in the garden, making the most of this June sunshine, working outside and … well, in the garden. With the expansion of our garden, we will be expecting even more produce this fall. What a blessing! We pray over the garden often and give it to God. I can plant and plant and plant but I cannot truly control the outcome. However, I would rather be in the dirt, pulling weeds, than rushing to the grocery store this winter and buying produce from who knows where. {Think about it – it makes sense!}
We have many baby bunnies on our property – they are adorable to watch – but they are just like Peter Rabbit in my garden. My husband has been very kind and put up a fence around all the gardens to protect them from the cute little bunny visitors.
Our good friends gave us some ducklings when we visited their house last week- what a blessing! The Buff Orpingtons are good layers, but not good for meat. They are growing quickly and quite cute to watch.
We recently introduced some goslings to the barnyard, as well. Oh my, they are so cute!
They are some Chinese Geese and, I think, there is one Embden goose. We do have a full grown goose and gander already, but I look forward to having more geese for the future.
Who can resist the cuteness of a little duckling?
Or even still – a gosling?
I’m sitting on the back patio (our summer kitchen) waiting for the pressure canner to finish up over the propane cooker. I have been true to my decision to weekly pressure can some soups and meals for the winter months. Hopefully I can do a post about that lately as I have some good recipes to share …and I should do baby update, for sure … hopefully this week … perhaps if it rains a bit in the afternoon. 🙂
