Yesterday was the second "open" day for our farmstand. A great day and we are meeting so many nice people that either live or summer in our area. Customers are enjoying our animals - we have a small petting area set up next to the shop and the animals greet the customers as they enter. The little runner ducks in the photo are a big hit with the children. These ducklings are about 4 weeks old now. Soon they will be patrolling the farm with Mama duck and her siblings. For now they are in the "duck" tractor until I'm comfortable something won't make a snack out of them.
We have had beautiful sunny weather for the last three days. A brief show last night gave the gardens a drink but no heavy rain. The flowers have perked up as well as the vegetables. A little hay weather and a few bales were made. Hallelujah!!
~Hope your all having a beautiful day where you are~

Congratulations on your success with the shop! Hope the haying is going well.
I agree with threecollie, congrats on the shop. Let us know a good time to come visit.
Congrats on the shop. And oh, I LOVE the duckies!! So cute. Hubby wants to get the runner ducks. Do they swim?? I know its a dumb question, but they are so "tall", I don't see how they can.
threecollie,
Thanks :) I hope you all have been able to cut grass as well. Do you chop your first cut and bale your second for winter?
Lisa,
Thanks :)
I've been going over the calendar - I'll let you know asap :)
Sue,
Yes - Indian runners are good swimmers. They cannot fly but they can run fast! We really love them - I have the tan...I'd like to get a pair of the blue runners. Good luck :)
Glad for your success with your own little farmer's market! Those ducks do look like they can run. Nothing like the ducks I posted about yesterday. Best wishes!
I want to see a photo of the petting zoo. Glad the market is going well.
I've always thought that runner ducks were so darling.
I'm glad your shop is going well. I wish I could come there and 'go shopping'.

When I had ducks the Indian Runners were my absolute favorite (and the only ones I think I'd ever have again).
