2 chicken eggs. 0 duck eggs.

Sometimes it's about how these events in the yard make me feel.  Watching a Leghorn run wickyjawed across the yard, only to do a 180 and head right back to where she was, for no apparent reason, makes me laugh. If you've never seen a Leghorn run, you're missing out.  Add it to your bucket list.  The ducks hear me laugh at the Leghorns, and they do their version.  The geese won't be out done and they honk their song.

Sometimes it's about watching the rainbows in the water hose spray while the ducks and geese drink from the wind.  Sometimes it's about watching them paddle across the yard so graceful and sweet, with their necks stretched out to guard their younger friends.

Sometimes it's about the way Maezee gently puts her foot on Merlin's Frisbee and gives him a kiss.  Sometimes it's about Merlin giving that Frisbee up to Jewel during their tug of war, when he knows he could keep it.

Sometimes it's just that swing.  Those flowers.  The sound of the tractor coming in.  The Owl hoot.
