greenstormMy collection of dinosaurs is getting restless.
The geese are starting to pair off and hiss at me. The Embdens are trying to stake out the saddlebacks' spot beside the door, although I think Avallu keeps them away from it at night. They're there in the morning when the dogs are gone, and walk outside when I show up.
This morning when the geese hissed and honked it was a little cold and very humid. Whenever one honked a little cloud of vapour trailed out of their mouths like a speech bubble. It was adorable and lovely. With light in the mornings how it can be so hard to leave.
My fall ducklings that I brought inside ended up getting some cold damage. 2 died before I brought them in, 2 have misshapen feet from frostbite, and one has lost one leg up to the elbow and may lose the other. Those were all muscovies and I pretty much swore off on muscovies moving forward, despite their being delightful creatures.
Well, someone the next town over has muscovies that survived the winter without any heat. I have less than zero money right now: had to fix the trailer due to a stupid n00b error on my part, all my LED lights from week 1 in the house burned out, I have a surprise school fee, and I do not have a contingency fund this year because of this move to the new job. However. I would *really* like to try keeping going with muscovies and add those genetics to my flock. Bah.
I need to actually get outside and set up my pens.
I want to spend so much time at home doing stuff. It was +6C yesterday, which with all the slush makes it feel terrifyingly cold. Sunlight, though, is so good, and the dinosaurs are restless.
