A Bit Of Gardening.....

 
The other day I promised a friend a photo of the ducks.
They have grown well and laying quite a stash of eggs.
DH is going to fire up the incubator and put some in and see how we go.
 

We know the white duck is a drake ( by his activities ) and the duck with the green head is a drake too.
So we ended up with 2 and 2.

We also did some gardening today.

I pruned the last 21 roses that needed pruning.
Grandma was weeding with a hoe.
( We will find her out in the garden with her toes turned up oneday )
DH finished the weeding.
He also mowed the grass ( we won't call it lawn just yet )
We also weeded the cactus garden too.
So between the rose thorns and cactus needles our fingers are sore.

Mum came over for awhile and she did some sewing and I unpicked some quilting ......only 5 rows to unpick now.
( I'm glad it's a small quilt )
Bloody machine !
I'm thinking it doesn't like having the walking foot on , because it sews without skipping stitches when I'm piecing.

DH is so much better today.....thank-you for all your concern.
He has severe GORD and a hiatus hernia , we just have to wait to see what the specialist says.

The girls laid 19 eggs over the last 2 days.


Until Next Time.

Thanks for showing the ducks. Here's hoping you hatch some little ones! The green head and duck on the left look like Mallards. What is the duck in the middle?
