Recently, Duck Duck has been spreading her wings. I found her twice outside the garden fence. We knew we needed to clip one of her wings, but forgot about it. So the other day, I went out to feed her and Big Red, and she was GONE! We looked all over but couldn't find her. So we thought she got ate. However, I continued to call out to her throughout the day, in case she was near enough to hear me.
Well, it was getting dark. Olaf started barking, and I remembered I needed to close the greenhouse door. I step outside, and Lo and Behold! Duck Duck was outside a few feet from the RV! I was SOOOOOO happy to see her! Gordy wanted to get the net, but I told him 'no', she'll follow me. And that she did! Got her back in the garden, clipped her wing, and all is well.
I hate to clip her wing, but if she flies away she will die. There's nothing for her to eat in the desert, and LOTS of predators. And since I saved her from living a life in a cage, I'm ok with it.
Yesterday, I was heading into Bullhead, and the desert flowers were in bloom! I need to remember to keep a shovel and a bucket in the car, so I can get some specimens off the roadside. Then, I saw a family of burros right along side the road! On the way back, I saw a yucca in full bloom - I've never seen that before. Spring is definitely here!

Long Time No See
WOW! It's been a while!
2015 seems to be going well. I stopped at the health food store today, and put my hand in my pocket and found an egg! Guess I forgot to put it away after I checked the chicken coop earlier! LOL I'm taking it as a good sign!
The other day, we had a LOT of snow and it was HORRIBLE! This is the desert!!!!!!
The Holidays were great! Zachary came to visit, and Becca loved waking up to presents on Winter Solstice AND Christmas!
Yep. That's Becca's very own Christmas tree in her bus!
My goal for this New Year, is to do more. I've been lazy, and giving in to my back pain. So, I'm just gonna take more pills and use cannabis more and GET MORE DONE!!! There are so many things to get done around here, so instead of being overwhelmed, I'm going to be EXCITED and enjoy it all! And if that doesn't work, I'll just start drinking when I wake up every morning. : )
