Ducklings day 17

Today was a rainy day, but the ducklings made their own rain inside the duck house by splashing around in the pool.

(I’ll follow up this post with a YouTube edition of that summary.)

Edit to add:

Happy birthday Pansy! The feral cat who lives in the back of our shop, keeping it free of rodents, is 6 years old today (her observed birthday, anyway; having been found on the streets, her actual birthday is unknown):
