The old goose had enough with the drakes fighting.
His strong jaws and serrated beak can cut a thin runner duck in half. He really needs to take charge, because I threatened to put them in with the toms during rutting season in Oct. Blood sport.

Uncle Henry protecting babies, telling drakes to,
"...get out of here, the babies are eating breakfast!"
Mama Matcha looks in, babies don't even notice her.
The 6'x6' clear tarp has enough room on bottom to get under and enjoy a meal of chopped vegies/fruit/oats.

Between mama on one side and Uncle Henry on the other, taught the babies how to climb the stones to get into pond. One baby, exited the bridge, onto porch and down the stone ramp. Still have to finish the ramp. It drizzeled a little while bathing, they enjoyed.

My horoscope said in part, "You'd rather not keep up appearances if it means ignoring the more profound issues."
Meaning, don't be complacent, vegans don't vote for carnivours. Got the peacock from Turkey up this morning.

Set tile inside for ramp, will grout tonight, repaired rickety fence on northside breezeway, paraded the flock around the front to back, as I'm draining the pond. The drakes and Masala jumped in feeding on the bottom. Tomorrow mama and babies move in.

Need to redo heart panel. Remove 2x4, scallop bottom and a little painting around the heart for the charm effect. Finished laying floor last night, cleaned grout this morning. Trying to find the energy to set ramp brackets before it turns 106°.

#AnimalRescue, #ThePetProtectProject, #DuckMahal
Got the top cyan acrilic panel up last night and painted this morning. Installed the second handle on outside swing door.
Delivery arriving today should almost finish the two projects. SO ready for a break in this 102°-107° weather.

Got one shelf/ramp in the main house. Not mortared nor grouted yet, brutally hot outside. Maybe tonight. Goose/turkeys can get under it, but the next section will be lower which ducks can get under, but have to wait to finish floor tile.

Duck Mahal taspastry arrived last night. I sewed the adjustable wire onto top/bottom, screwed the clips in. It is not of Agra (Taj Mahal), but of Jaipur, where I also visited and is lovely. Spent an hr cursing trying to frame swing door w/no luck.

Set and grouted white marble porch, and most of the Poppy Blue main subway tiles. Ordering more. Painted walls sunshiny, Tomatillto, and worked more stone around ramp. Cleaning out ponds for the quackers and honker to enjoy this weekend.

#Lowe's, #delivery, #DuckMahal, #AnimalRescue, #ThePetProtectProject
Called in local order 2 wks ago, finally arrived but never tinted the paint colored Tomatillto, and they charged me for two cans. Within 1-1/2hrs, they arrived, switched cans, one should come off bill. Set backs galore. 🦆🦆🪿🦆🦆

Finished the mosaic, two roofs, stone work, painted white and black. Need many touch-ups, porch and main room tile, acrylic inserts, motiffs, swinging door, indoor ramps. Next week more material comes so I can rap this up and complete storage room.

Henry likes the stones.
Wait till I'm done sweet heart, you have an old broken mama with limited income. Glad I hammered a stake on the other side of those stones not mortared in. Could have easily fell over.
I'm getting shreaded mulch.

Not nearly done with the Duck Mahal, but I'm out of material and exhausted, so last night I emptied and cleaned the pond, put the push-fence back up and let them rip!
