We are so excited to announce that our mother hen (chicken) has successfully hatched out 4 cute little puffballs (Indian Runner Ducklings). They are currently 4 days old. We couldn't love them more, and it's quite clear how much they love us! I mean, just look at them! How can you not melt when you see these like faces??
We had some very happy guests (human πŸ˜…) who were able to give them some extra loving!!

We were so fortunate to spot this Red Eyed Vireo while walking through Port Carling yesterday. Both parents care for the young, so this could be either Mom or Dad. You may notice that one of the babies looks much larger than the others. In Ontario, there are a few different species of birds that lay their eggs in the nest of other birds. I'll leave the rest for you to Google!πŸ˜…

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

After months of easing into it, I'm happy to announce that Bonnie (Flemish Giant - Grey) and Lint (Netherland Dwarf - Fluff) are officially bonded! Bonnie had some walls up, but after some therapy, she's accepting others into her life with open "arms" πŸ˜‚ Seriously though, it's so nice to see these two finally loving each other!

Have a wonderful morning, everyone!!

The past two days we've had some exciting new visitors to our garden. The first was a beautiful Monarch Butterfly. While recording, I noticed she seemed to have deposited an egg onto one of our many milkweed plants. On closer inspection, I found the egg placed right into the undeveloped flower head! Later that night, we were blessed with the most beautiful Luna Moth I've ever seen!! Just for the record, handling butterflies and moths can harm them, so it's not recommended. After carefully placing him in a safe spot, we turned off the outdoor lights to allow him to "do his thing" πŸ˜… I'm sure all of you nature lovers out there can understand how exciting the is for us! πŸ€“πŸ₯³

Have an amazing day, everyone!

Here's an update on our precious chickadees. 7 eggs, 5 hatched. Mom and dad are working very hard to keep these mouths fed. Bonus - they prefer to eat those like green caterpillars (cankerworms) that hang off the trees πŸ˜….

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

It's planting season!! πŸ…πŸ₯¬πŸ₯¦ From our greenhouse, right to our garden. It's a ton of work, but it's so worth it! As you can see, our onions, sage, chives, and asparagus are well on their way already!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
