Hey Y’all,
Today I’m sitting in the living room of the farmhouse, looking out at our pond, watching the ducks float along peacefully. Even though all their siblings were all wiped out by predators, they move all over this homestead without an apparent care in the world. It occurs to me that there must be a lesson that we are supposed to learn from these brave little ducks and their seemingly positive view on life. Well, I really don’t think that they have a “view” on life, but they do seem to be unaffected and joyful. Leo and Otis are just the sweetest little guys! They are always running along, excitedly looking for the next bug to eat. On my daily trips out to the potager garden, they happily chatter back to me, as I talk “baby talk” to them and toss out cherry tomatoes for their morning snack. They are just the happiest and most cheerful little animals. read more
