Off and on all night, our one dog barked as the other had broken her cham and was running around the buildings. Early in the morning, I discovered her sleeping with the puppy, who was contented for a change, and didn’t awaken us - the silence did that. Then, before breakfast was finished, we saw our six pigs had broken out of their pen and discovered the apricot seeds under the trees and were busily crunching away on them.

You see, our front porch was open under the floor boards and appeared to be an ideal nesting area. Eventually 31 ducklings emerged with their mothers and waddled to a small pond in the meadow. All the traffic across the cement walk wasn’t exactly to our liking and we had several drakes sittmg in the yard too. Now that they have hat ched, I’ve finally put up the poultry fencing which I bought early in the spring and never installed. Such a bunch of frustrated ducks you’ve never seen.
