The new girls...

...of Buttermilk Acres.  Indian Runner Ducks - Delilah and Daphne.

 

They are acclimating with the others quite well.  (Chuck is checking out the new girls but hasn't had the nerve to formally introduce himself.)

 

Delilah

Daphne

 

Thanks, Joanna and Mike!  We are tickled with the new additions.

The Good Aunt (cont)...

Calamity takes her "Aunt" responsibilities seriously.  

Here she is washing Dora.

Pretty Dora.

 And then she takes on both of them.  

(Notice she has Diega pinned.)

It's rare to get a picture without a dog nose present.

"Nap time = Go to sleep."

"Good girls."

The good Aunt...

Diega wanted to play with Aunt Calamity, who was napping... 

 Calamity was very gentle and patient...

 And then the play turned a little rough...

 ...and this is what happened when Diega let out a small meow.  The rest of the babysitting brigade became instantly involved.

After playing, it was bath time...

Aunt Calamity rocks!

Calamity's advice on being a good Aunt:  "When all else fails and you want to nap again sometimes you just have to lay on them."

Rest in peace...

You never know....

...what you will find (in one very messy pantry area).

(Evidently keeping an eye on the cat food)
