Homeless Duck

Steven and I were outside this morning putting up the volleyball deck when we got a visitor. This duck just walked right on the field like we were not even there. I txted my mom about this and she said, "well maybe she heard about the volleyball later and wants in". That seems doubtful but the duck did enjoy wandering into the garage and sitting under my moms car. It also loved being sprayed with water as it was a pretty hot day. We put some bread and a little pool of water out for the duck to try and entice her to stay a while. As of 2:30 she is still here ...

Kittens

Well almost kittens ... the two tiny ones we think were maybe 6 weeks old and the three of the larger cat was probably the mom. We found them all living under the porch at Devon's cabin last weekend. To get the pictures I had to put my camera on a tripod out on the deck and we "baited" the cats with salami, cheese, and sour milk (why waste good milk). Then I hooked my camera up to my computer via cable through a sliding window so I could shoot remotely from my computer in the cabin and not scare the cats. It got to be to much waiting so I just had it take a picture every minute and thirty seconds for a couple hours and when we went back and looked these were the results!
