Cat update for week ending June 12
Some pictures of cats in the cabins and their house, and outside. And one not-a-cat.

Two cats inside:
Pommie watching Paladout in the tree (behind the timestamp):
Not a cat; unusual to see a possum in daylight hours. Watched by a cat behind the house:
Porcini enjoying a cabin:

Flock Friday for June 11
Time to check on the ducks and chickens again.
Here are some ducks by the chicken coop, curious about me mucking it out:
And on the lawn:
Peeking at Sonja nesting, while refilling their food; her ducklings should hatch in a week or two:
Ducks on the path to the duck house:
A token picture of some chickens:
Betty and her ducklings on the floating island; they’ve been making good use of it as a safe place to sleep, which makes me happy:
Betty left to grab some treats, and the ducklings struggled to follow; I really need to add more dirt to fill in the interior, and make it sit lower in the water:
A GIF of ducklings struggling to get off the island:

Looking down at Betty and ducklings below the pond deck:
Cat update for week ending June 5
Hey cat fans. Just seven pics for Caturday this week.
Cabin cats Porcini and Pommie:
Porcini relaxing in the shade of grasses under the bird feeders. And if a bird happened to fall into her mouth, she wouldn’t object:
Porcini is an expert at relaxation:

Flock Friday for June 4
On last week’s Flock Friday I announced the hatching of Betty’s ducklings, and followed up with three days of posts featuring the ducklings. I may do that again once Sonja’s ducklings hatch, expected around mid-June. But for now, it’s back to a more normal Flock Friday post, with some duckling pics included.
Starting with a few token chicken pics on a wet day:
Bert about to hop into the pond:
Ducks in the pond:
Ducks on the path to the duck house (time to remove those gates; don’t need them with mothered ducklings):
Betty and a duckling on an upturned pot island:
Ducks enjoying mealworm treats; it didn’t take the ducklings long to learn how tasty they are, and come zooming over when they see me on the pond deck:
