I just love happy ducks!

I recently bought the ducks a new little tub to bathe in.  They have wading pools but I thought they might like to feel deeper water.  Do they ever!  They form a queue to jump in and splash around.  It’s so cute to watch them waddle up the ramp to wait their turn to dive in.

It is so fun to watch them.  They are just so joyous around water and it’s hard not to catch some of that overpowering feeling.

Now I can see they’d really like a pond or a big stock tank so all of them can fit in at once.  Oh man they would be happy then!  I may have to save up but I just can’t wait to get them what they want.

Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Fest!

World Pumpkin Capital of Half Moon Bay Pays Homage to the Great and Almighty Gourd

44th Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival, October 18-19
Official Pumpkin Festival Mascot “Gourdy” and Craft Cocktails Debut at America’s Fall Classic

Every year when autumn rolls around, picturesque Half Moon Bay bursts into a brilliant sea of orange and buzzes with excitement and activity to celebrate its bountiful fall harvest. The dazzling journey is its own reward … the tunnel through Devils Slide is a sight to behold plus the breath-taking views of seaside farm country dotted with vast, rolling fields of orange, scarecrows, barns, and pick-your-own pumpkin patches.

Plum Blossom Farm will be in booth space #216, which is on Main Street near Correas.   This festival is always crowded but so much fun and worth the traffic!  I am really looking forward to it.  Hope to see you there!
