Mucking out the pens

laura_seabrookNow the ducks are gone, I'm "mucking out" the pens I had for them. One was already there when I bought this place, the other Steve (a boarder I had) and I put up out of stuff found in the bush (including a working door).
I drained the kiddies wading pool and bath tubs I had installed. It was amazing how much muck they had in each. I also removed half the containers of water I had lying about. It's funny, but there seem to be less mosquitoes about today. Some of the "dirt" (mostly a mixture of dirt and duck manure from one pen is going to fill up the hole left by the bath tub in the other. That bath tub got removed to up the back. I'm going to dismantle the walkway and laying boxes I'd constructed in a minute. It's sweaty work, but I feel good doing it.
It's funny, out of all the ducks I think about, there's only Stinky, Nicole (Ballerina duck) and old Howard that I really miss. All dead, all gone.
