Way Too Long

It has been way too long since my last blog post! I am so sorry!

One reason why is because I have been sharing my computer with Kylie while her's on on the fritz. Another reason it has been so long is because I've been doing some cleaning around the house! I am one person who actually enjoys cleaning. Once I start, I just want to clean everything.

To begin, I started cleaning up my room, then that lead to cleaning different parts of the basement. I found a lot of stuff that I forgot I even had. It was quite nice to see those items again. They brought a lot of good memories, but also some sad.

My next conquest is the horse barn and the chicken coop. It has to wait a few weeks though. Want to know why? We have a whole bunch of duck eggs! There are over 10 nests in the chicken coop alone with close to 80 eggs. (Kylie was nice enough to count when we fed the ducks and the mothers got of the eggs.) Then our one duck actually had a nest in the horse barn, silly little thing did the same thing last year too. Only her eggs hatched early this week, so now we have a few little yellow ducklings walking in our yard already! In the next week or so, there should be quite a few more.

Ducklings won't be the only baby birds in the yard. The guineas have been pretty busy themselves. The bad part is that they like to have their nests in the row of trees right next to our dog fence. Bud dad fixed that problem by putting up an extra fence to keep the dogs away. Deep down he cares about the cute little birds.

Oh, and those kittens that I talked about in the last posts, all nine are still alive! They are such freindly little buggers. We barely walk out of the house and they are right there by our feet and want to get loved.

It is getting late here, so I have to head out. I promise to post some pictures as soon as Kylie's computer is working again and she can upload pictures!
