Urban Wildlife

We had about 420 people come through the house today. It was fun and exciting to have people, strangers, compliment us and our decorating style and marvel over painting, woodwork, stained glass, and other home improvement projects around the house. Lots of people also complimented the quilts and the puppet theater. So many thanks to those of you that have given me your works of art.
I know people grow up exposed or not to all different things. But here are some ridiculous, to my mind, conversations that occurred in our backyard today. And not just once or twice, but over and over again.
"Is that a beehive?"
"Yes, they are honey bees."
"Oh, so do you make honey?" (Do I look like a bee?)
"Well, the bees make the honey, but yes we harvest it."

"Are your ducks pregnant? They look pregnant."
"Well, they are all hens, so no, they aren't pregnant. But they will probably lay an egg tomorrow."
"What do you do with the eggs?"
"We eat them."
"I didn't' know you could eat duck eggs."
