Part of homesteading is learning to take the good with the bad. On Friday, Steve discovered our female duck Mildred(aka Millie) had been killed by a wild animal. We made the choice to let our ducks pasture(free to roam the property.)  In making that choice, we knew this was always a possibility. It doesn’t make it any easier.

        We are fortunate though, some of her eggs were saved.  In 26 days we should have some little Millies to carry on her legacy.

RIP

Mildred (Millie) Wells

   Lost but not forgotten.
