Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦😃🇨🇦
It was the late 80’s. I was in my teens, rockin’ the 80’s hair with Poison, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi on my mix tape. And then a classmate came to school singing a COUNTRY song?!?! The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Fishin’ In The Dark brought me over to the country side just in time. The 90’s were about to hit, and I would have hated to have missed that! Saw these guys again last night in Swift Current and they sounded just as good as they did 30 years ago. Be nice to think that between them and their amazing opener @colterwall that maybe country music gained a few new fans! #realcountrymusic @nittygrittydirtband
Here’s the back story.... last year we were down to 2 ducks. Our female duck (who strangely enough we’ve never named!) hatched around a dozen eggs last fall. Unfortunately she lost all her ducklings within a week. It was pretty sad watching her calling for them. We moved the 2 ducks in with the chickens and guineas for the winter and they got along great! But on one of those -40 February mornings, I went out and she was making quite a ruckus. She had gone for her regular swim in the heated dog bowl and when she got out her feathers on her chest had froze to the ground. I got her thawed out and moved her to the house and set her cage in front of the fire, got her warmed back up. But her feet didn’t look good. We pondered putting her down a few times.... her feet were black and it didn’t look promising for her, but she still managed to get around and didn’t seem in pain. So we moved her and Hank (the drake) back out to their summer pen. Eventually one foot fell off, and then a week or so later, the other. Again, we pondered but with the resilience she had already shown us, and not appearing in pain, we thought let’s just let her be and see if she figures it out. She started out only moving a little ways, enough to get to the food and water, but now, she motors all around the pen! I even saw her in the water bowl and then hop out of it this morning! Pretty amazing what one can do when they aren’t told they can’t. Who knew there was so much to learn from a duck....
