Day 580:
I managed to get ponds dug and connected (to the big pond) in all of my fenced-in areas and all the animals are relatively happy now.
The cows didn’t turn out to be too big of a problem. The duckens, however, sheesh. Apparently they like swimming. They especially like swimming in moving water, like a creek. They most especially like swimming in a creek you’re still digging while you’re standing in it trying to shore up the, well, shore, so that it doesn’t turn the whole pasture into a pond.
They are dumb dumb birds.
And one of them got too close to my shovel so now I’m having it for dinner and, all things considered, I don’t even feel bad about it.
