They all are beautiful and I'm so sorry I didn't take my Patches' picture and send it in.
I think what you are doing is great. We are losing our honeybees due to pesticides and the killer bees. They help pollinate our flowers and food supply -- (vegatables). I think they visit my moms hummingbird feeder on Burdette Street. If not you bees, they must have a nest somewhere near her house. They are funny to watch at the bird feeder.
Raising the ducks and then using them for food is great. Don't think I would be able to do that due to the fact I would think of them as pets. Would not be able to part with them.
Re: “Work and Home”
I think the work requirement should be enforced. In our state the privileges are abused and thus making it harding for those who are in need to obtain help. It has been lax for years and needs some type of reform.
