I GOT LOTS OF HELP

I have my helpers staying with us while their mom is resting up after having baby brother Zachary. Baby ducks hatched just in time for grandchildren to help with the feeding.IMG_0576
My cousin Steve brought me 6 eggs that he rescued while farming a field. I put them in the incubator and in 4 weeks I got 5 ducks. IMG_0577I had lots of help planting my food plots tooIMG_0626. IMG_0593Nate is checking seed depth here for me.IMG_0618 Max is making sure the planter is working ok.Molly is enjoying the ride to the plot.IMG_0613 Nate's checking a bean sprout.IMG_0596When the work's done we get to climb the hay stack.IMG_0674I put my camera on the clover field for a couple of days and got these deer. PICT0013I got Dad's case and worked up 2 acres for some sun flowers, corn and beans near the clover plot. PICT0043I moved the camera to the wetlands hoping to get those little wood ducks. Here's the first days pictures. PICT0075PICT0066PICT0081
The wind was just right for kite flying.IMG_0721I moved the ducklings to a bigger home.IMG_0735Saturday we took a trip to Assateague Island to see the ponies. The kids had read the Misty book and watched the movie and were excited to see the ponies.IMG_0695IMG_0702IMG_0715
