This morning I woke up and let out the ducks and chickens like I have every day for the past three years. Only today that walk was a little bit longer. It started here.

It went past the fire pit.

Past this hammock.

And continued down the path past the garden, through the gate and under this swing from the grape arbor.

Good morning duckies.

Then into the orchard to unleash the rooster (Fancy Pants) and his entourage. It’s good to be the king, I’m sure.

After a quick visit with the latte maker it ended here to listen to the songbirds until everyone inside the house woke up.

Then sadly it went on to working, unboxing, squishing asparagus beetle larvae, fencing, and other not so glamorous chores. To be continued…
