Day 28. Monday. 28th July 2025. Erlicheer Jonquils out the laundry door, intentionally planted there to greet us each day they are flowering. My favourites, but then I say that about everything that is flowering. Lots of rain this afternoon, soggy underfoot, grateful for the good soak. Perfect weather for ducks! ~ A Moment in […]

Day 26. Saturday. 26th July 2025. This chess set. If you take the checker board off the box it also houses a domino set, a checkers set, a set of cards and backgammon. Most weekends the chess set sits on the kitchen table in between Michael and Lil playing a game or three. It always […]

Day 25. Friday. 25th July 2025. Little treasures from the Garden. Picked with my Lil on a warm, sunny Winter afternoon in between her University studies. So important to do these small activities together, it gives us time to check in with each other and isn’t that so important… ~ A Moment in the Day […]

Day 23. Wednesday. 23rd July 2025. Well…. this is interesting…. thanks to Myrtle coming to live with us, the flock dynamics have really changed. It turns out that Myrtle is the glue we needed  “metaphorically speaking” to join our two smaller flocks together. Lots of time sitting and observing, separating them when it is going […]

Day 22. Tuesday. 22nd July 2025. Lil and I spent some time together in between her University studies. We took some little amber bottles up to her Garden Library and filled them with Winter flowering blooms. Sweet, important moments to spend together. Of course Honeybee joined us, she always likes to have a sticky beak […]

Day 20. Sunday. 20th July 2025. I notice a lot when sitting very still on the garden bench. The ducks have the habit of wandering off from each other as they forage then they meet up in the middle of the garden. While they are waiting for each other they fossick in the violets that […]

Day 19. Saturday. 19th July 2025. It’s blowing a hoolie outside. The ducks and hens wanted to stay inside so everyone got tucked in early with extra grain and greens since they aren’t foraging and fossicking about the garden. Michael made a carrot cake, he and Lil made lunch together and played their regular weekend […]

Day 18. Friday. 18th July 2025. Honeybee is ready for bed. She often likes Michael, Liliana and I to all walk her up to the door of her nighttime hutch. Lovely late afternoon light and some extra photos captured as we walked around the garden and checked on everyone. Take precious care. Love from the […]

Honeybee and Loveheart are in the bath. Myrtle is standing at the back and Daisy is standing on the right. It’s a funny little family. The duck dynamics have changed dramatically since Myrtle came to live here, it’s all for the better. For now I’ll leave you with these photos taken yesterday and circle back […]
