Where, oh where can she be? The sun that is!

 

The sun has disappeared!  Third straight week of cloudy, dull skies and I am wondering what has happened to the sun!  This spring has been so cold, we really are having a hard time getting our garden started for the growing season.  Finally on Sunday it was close to 70 degrees, although still gray skies, we were able to get a first tilling in.  I planted our onions and potatoes.  After checking with my growing record for last year I see we are an entire month later this year than last year. UGH!
We want warmth and sun.
4 to 6 inches of rain expected in the next two days.  Might as well plan on other projects while we wait!  Cleveland Town Garage Sale coming in a week and our visit to St Louis this weekend to meet our grand dog should be fun.
Now an update on the continuing saga of our crazy pet rooster.  Mr. Grey as we call him, loves us more than his hens. He is now 1 year old and no sign of mating with any of his hens, but sure loves to have sex on our farm boots each morning.  OH well, anyway, since we now only have one adult duck and she does not like to be by herself during the day, she has taken to following the rooster around.  Each morning she waits for him to come out of the chicken coop, eats a bit of breakfast with the hens then when the rooster starts his farm yard patrol, the duck is right there with him.  She makes cooing sounds at him and bobs her head in respect!  So, we have a crazy gay rooster and a duck who is attracted to a chicken, who knew?   A match made in heaven for sure!
