Yeah. Sauteed is fine. Setting on a nest of eggs somewhere in the 30 acres we call home. I see her every morning.
Today was the first day of school, which is daunting at 42 years old. Even worse? Most of these kids could be MY kids! I sit in classes with a bunch of 18 year olds trying to look inconspicuous. Yeah, right!
I put the shop in semi-permanent vacation for now. Still getting used to the whole....not having to do stuff all the time thing. Not having to check for orders, sew bags, finish bags, answer questions, ship orders...it's odd. I've spent the last few days wandering around doing *something* to keep from going bonkers.
So...one thing I've been doing is gleaning feathers from where the geese and ducks lie. When they huddle together and preen, they leave feathers behind. So I gather them in plastic bags and then dump those into a 2 1/2 gallon zip bag. That is the first one, I am working on bag #2.
From what I've read, geese will molt twice a year. Ducks about once. The geese are teens, so they will molt an extra time this year to get rid of their juvenile feathers. Now that's a lot of down and feathers! Mama's gathering enough for a down comforter, I think!
