Video: Time-lapse of the ducks on the pond on a rainy day
It’s raining today, which doesn’t bother the ducks at all. This time-lapse covers two hours of the ducks swimming around the pond, going onto the bank, and inside the duck house, in just 22 seconds.
Video: Best day of the year for our chickens: getting to go into the veggie garden
Once the first frost of fall brings the veggie garden growth to an end, we let the chickens in there, so they can eat the remaining tomatoes, kale, lettuce, etc, and have fun scratching in the beds for bugs.

The Jays love their peanuts
I put a handful of raw whole peanuts in a tray for the wild birds every day. The Steller’s Jays and Scrub Jays love them, hardly waiting for me to leave before diving down and grabbing one or two. They take them elsewhere to open and eat; we find peanut shells under trees all over the homestead.
