I was going to post about the ducks yesterday-- one of the neighbors gave Garry three ducks to hang out with our one remaining baby duck (still fuzzy with wobbly legs, but he's bigger now and a survivor) They are running around the barn, sitting in the sunshine, eating flies like crazy. The little guy found a sunny spot behind the cows, next to a cowpie and had a grand afternoon snapping up flies like the other ducks, without having to move much.
Sadly Martin the big white kitten was dead out in the yard this morning, not sure what was the cause of death. Now Needles, the little striped kitten Jonah got from one of the neighbor girls, wants to go outside to play as he has for the last couple weeks and there is nobody to climb trees and wrestle with. Jonah will be guarding the door to keep him in no matter how loud he yells.
Mooska still has her little baby kitten in the shed, but she growls at Needles. Martin will be missed by all of us not just Needles- not only was he a pretty white, blue-eyed cat (reminded me of Jillian our cat in Manitoba)he was a nice cat, Victor's daughter Dasha named him after a Russian cartoon cat. He would just hang loose when you picked him up, which is why Seth was wearing him on his head last week.
The boys are off for a braces adjustment- Seth is having some problems with brackets coming off, and Jonah's out of rubber bands. Seth was finishing up his math for the day on the trip to the city. This week we had our first round of tests for math and biology (advanced the human body this year) and the boys are happy with the homeschool classes this year, and seem to be mastering the material so far. Way to go boys!
