Our Duck Squad

Our Duck Squad consists of three ducks (Hopefully more soon! That is, if I can get away with it..hehe) with their own distinct personalities! Their names are Goofy Cotton, Moonbeam, and Starlight. 

We actually had bought Goofy Cotton which is a Crested Peking duck and another duck named Flippers at Tractor Supply. Flippers is no longer with us because he was strangled by a snake and unfortunately died  when he was about a month old.

Sir Coffin Graves (Book 1) by Leinad Platz

I was chosen from a select few on Goodreads to review the book Sir Coffin Graves by Leinad Platz. This is his debut book and it's about a guy named Jacob Davis who leads an easy-going life, that is until everything he knew changed. His girlfriend is murdered, his father isn't who he says he is and his whole life as he knew it has been a lie! 

Where and How Long Can I Keep My Canned Goods?

That is the question I kept asking myself every time I thought about canning something and it scared me to death! So much so that I wouldn't even attempt it but after a lot of researching, and I mean a LOT, I think I understand enough not to be too afraid to try it..
I have learned the following info from the USDA: that I need to store canned foods and other shelf-stable products in a cool, dry place. Never put them above the stove, under the sink, in a damp garage or basement, or any place exposed to high or low-temperature extremes. 

Do you use honey to treat your poultry?

This sad little chick was born yesterday. We are going to call it Sweet Pea until we know whether it’s male or female. We had two hens sharing a basket to lay on the eggs until they hatched. They would each take turns sitting on them so the other one could eat. They also co-mother the little chicks together.

O'possum, My Possum

I would Like to introduce Riley Jenkins & Oscar De La Renta to you.

Riley Jenkins and Oscar De La Renta – May 4,2016

They are two of the three baby Virginia Opossums that found their way into our lives.  They were born somewhere under my front porch. We kept hearing the dogs go nuts every time the mother would come and go. That is, until the day one of my cats got a hold it and left these little guys motherless.
