Lily

This is Lily....


She's spending the Summer with me while her people are out Salmon Trolling. She's really friendly!


Lily is quite a bit bigger than the Mallards.


She barely fits in a nesting box.


And her eggs are huge!


Lily likes to help me work in the garden....


Here she is, helping me weed by pulling weeds out of the bucket!


 And here she is, wading through the Oregano patch.



Lily has been a big hit with the customers!


She likes to be hugged and petted.

And she likes little girls' earrings!





You've just got to come out to the u-pick garden and meet Lily!

My Other Life

I've been gone for about a month, working on the boat as the chief cook and bottle washer for Mr. Adams on his bear hunts. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.


Luckily for us, we had an excellent photographer aboard during one of the hunts (Lindsey Williams of Great Big Bison Productions), and he took some beautiful photos. They're so beautiful that they almost make our jobs look glamorous! Take a look.....




















Maybe they are.....


Thanks Lindsey!
