project: duck relocate ~ complete!

sooooooo our gorgeous livestock guardian dog, george lucas, is doing an amazing job of taking care of all our animals in the front pasture. 

georgie boy looking proud & rightly so!! 

we have a total of 13 ducks ~ 3 i bought, 5 i was given & 5 we hatched at school. we also have this amazing pond which is a bit over grown with  bulrushes.

here i am ~ at it again trying to clear some out. 

armed with mike's massive waders i took the plunge. everything was going swimmingly until i went over to the island in the middle & there sunning itself was the biggest black snake i've see in the wild. then it suddenly clicked that it can swim... got out of the pond as fast as i possibly could & also have no plans on going back in!

new home for our ducks & geese so they can use the pond :)
