Rain and eggs

 Here we are with rain again. Last year we had a flash flood that took out fences and some livestock here. This year we haven't had flooding (knock on wood) but have had constant rain all spring and it came again today. There has also been plenty of wind. We spent the weekend cleaning up a branch that was blown out of one of our trees (in between storms that is). The branch happens to be about 2 feet across where it was dislocated from the trunk. Still not done splitting it.
 We did get to place 8 Muscovy duck eggs in the incubator today though so all wasn't lost. Moscovy ducks are interesting, the girls look almost regal the way they walk around. The males ..... not so much...... they kinda look ...well.... they are just ugly and not the smartest critters either but they are still likeable in their own way.
  The garden is starting to come in but the weeds are too and it is way too wet to remove them.
 Oh well, maybe tomorrow we will dry out after all it is West Tennessee and it WILL get hot and dry sooner than later.
 If you would like to check out our "Michigan" goats you can see them on our website possumridgefarms.com
