Say hello to our new feathered friends!

Today has been a glorious day! Not only did we get a new rooster, but we got a new duck as well!!

The rooster that we got is a beautiful Silver Laced Wyandotte. Seriously one of the prettiest roosters I've ever seen! He's only 6 months old, so he's a tad on the small side right now. When he's fully grown, he's going to be stunning! The place that we got him from had some hens as well, but of course - they sold all of them yesterday! I wanted to die. At least we were able to get him, though. We've decided to call him, Carter.

The duck that we got is a beautiful Ancona drake! Not sure if you guys remember the Magpie drake that we got last year, but something happened to him. I don't believe I ever mentioned that before. He just disappeared one day and never came back. Anyways, Anconas are like completely opposites of Magpie's, so it's really nice to have a nearly all white drake instead of an all black one.  We thought of a great name for him too... Harley!

While we were on our way to get our duck, a semi with a flatbed trailer pulled out in front of us pretty fast and completely lost his trailer! It was kind of freaky, but luckily no one got hurt. I'm not going to go into massive detail about is - I got pretty much the entire thing on video.

Here's our new Silver Laced Wynadotte rooster, Carter.

Look at those feathers!

He's so pretty!

Here's the semi wreck.

And last, but definitely not least - our Ancona drake, Harley.

Here's the video:

Well hello Collinsville...

Today we had to journey to a place that is unknown to us. A place that requires a lot of attention and even directions. And that place is... Collinsville, IL. I know I haven't given out too many details about the sugar glider Railroad that we have set up - that's mainly because I didn't wan to say something and then have it fall through. If it wasn't for the helpful people of GliderCENTRAL, it wouldn't have been possible.

The beginning of the RR is us, obviously - then we drive to Collinsville, IL to meet a guy named Steve and his wife. They decided to keep Drake overnight and then meet a lady named, Denise, tomorrow in Indiana. After that, Denise will then drive to Ohio where she will meet Tricia - the girl that's adopting Drake, then she will drive back to New York. Not too complex, right? I think it's going to work out great. Day one, luckily, went super well with no speed bumps.

Well, I can think of one in particular speed bump. It may have possible had something to do with me, maybe almost hitting a guy. Yeah, I know - that's completely awful, but it was his fault dammit! He was walking in front of the car as I was picking LaVaughn up at the door of the gas station. I was talking to her as she was getting in and took off when all of a sudden this guy was walking in front of the car. I didn't even move the car 6 inches and he was pressed up against the car. He was obviously rubbing his leg up against the front of the car as he passed. LaVaughn will vouch for me.

Okay, well I'm exhausted and don't feel like writing anymore. I'd like to sit down and enjoy the rest of my Captain D's dinner - lobster bites included.

Love & Peace

Coming up to the JB Bridge.

Almost there!

Haha, Koch Rd. Anyone know what that sounds like (to me anyway)?

Still coming up to the JB Bridge.

We've made it to the JB Bridge!

The Mississippi River

The St. Louis Arch in the distance.

Still the St. Louis Arch.

Yellow highway.

Kind of reminds me of an 80s highway.

Old looking shot of the highway and JB Bridge.

The old miss, the old man...

Better shot of the Mississippi River.

Beautiful shot of the JB Bridge.

Awesome looking clouds.

Yup, cops! We passed SO many cops!

Awesome clouds again.

It's almost like the sky opened up!

Taco Bell Doritos Tacos. Unfortunately, we didn't wait in line to get one.
This is also the ONLY picture that I took today! 

Sewing and Sophie.

Since Drake (now Draco) is starting his journey to New York tomorrow, LaVaughn and I decided to make him a bonding pouch for the trip. Since LaVaughn's the only one that's ever attempted one, I decided to make one along with her. And you know what - I actually made one! And it's cute! The zippers were shorter, so the bonding pouches are kind of longer and more narrow, but they work.

After I finished, I decided to take some pictures of Sophie for Erika. It's been a while and I figured she might like them. Now if we could just get a RR set up for her - we would be set!

While I'm thinking of it - we might have more chickens in a couple weeks! One of our hens is brooding! So around the 26th of this month, we should have 6 new additions. If all of the eggs are fertile, of course.

I suppose that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Would you like a Pineapple treat?

Perhaps a rubber duck?

Just look at that cute sugar glider face!

Yes, I will have this duck. :)

Ugh, she looks so much like her mom, it's not even cool.
