During the Heat Wave

Hot weather continues.  The air is still and smoke filled from Canadian wildfires. We're shutting up the house and using air conditioning to minimize our exposure. Latest pictures below. Yellow cast is caused by the smokey light.

Progress on the shed

The ducklings are growing by leaps and bounds. They were introduced to the "pond" yesterday. This is the same pool they lived in their first few weeks with us. Being ducks, they love water and will sit in it for hours, softening the sheath on their new feather growth. It won't be long before they are in full adult plumage. Their house is finished except for paint and I'm going to wait on that until it's a little cooler. I think it's the best duck house ever built.
