Happy Earth Day!

'Tis Earth Day! I am very ashamed to say that I did little on this lovely spring day to honour such an occasion. Environmentally, that is. I did create a video just now to raise awareness about how beautiful (and cute, if you include our pets) Mother Nature is. All around our yard, I took pictures and videos and, amateur as I am, threw together what I hope is a reasonably clear video clip. I hope it shows up on here! I'm worried that it'll be too pixilated...Nothing I can do about that, I guess! 

Aside from the video, we've had a pretty interesting weekend here at Huckleberry Plunks. We finally finished the expansion of the duck pen, leaving them with land aplenty to roam around on, and tons and tons of greens to munch on. Also, we actually hung up their gate, which, pitifully, had been lying on its side as a barricade for two years now. <:D That's a little sad. 
Anyway, already, the ducks have ventured to the far reaches of their expanded pen. They were so excited to have so much room to run around on! I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted from the 'Stress' section of my head because of it. We fenced off the little section they've had in the corner of their pen for the past week or so, to let it recover and dry out from their ruthless, muddy drilling. Gosh, they are such mucky creatures! They've been laying three eggs every day now that the temperature has been reaching the late teens and 20 degrees. Actually, they've laid so much that we're desperate for someone to buy a carton!
