We got some snow on Sunday, light fluffy stuff that fell in huge flakes. The birds had a heyday with it... our ducks waddled around snapping it up and the wild birds flitted around our deck. You might be able to see a few in the picture.
And just like that, the snow melted. One minute there was snow, the next time I looked outside it was gone.
More birds have returned. I saw three cranes yesterday (one landed in the pond and the other two flew overhead). The swans have made an appearance again. They never stay long.
Our ducks have been wandering. They made it almost all the way down to the pond yesterday to enjoy the puddles from the melted snow. Unfortunately, they're also wandering over to the neighbor's house. We heard from them that our ducks have been pooping where the grandkids play and the chickens are eating the first flowers coming up. 😬
G built a short chicken fence to continue the existing fence dividing our properties and so far it seems to have worked. Still, I keep a sharp eye on them. If they go around the fence, we're going to have to put them in the pasture.
