We spent the last four days building a duck coop and getting to know the girls.
Today, the weather took a turn.
And the girls are the only ones enjoying this 'fowl' weather.
Rainy days = comfort food.
What can be more comforting than a giant dish of white bread..
Sugar, eggs and cream mixed in to a giant dish of white bread.
