The No Doubt frontwoman, 54, recently shared a video of her interacting with some of their farm animals on her Instagram Stories.
Captured on camera were a few ducklings in a bucket of water, swimming around and quacking about with their small voices.
Gwen appeared to be preparing to wash the little creatures.
A slide later in her Instagram Stories timeline showed a video of her jogging on the pair’s ranch grounds.

While she was running, she came across the Purple Iris flowers that she and Blake, 47, planted on their property.
Purple Irises seems to have a special place in the star’s heart.
Not only did she find the flower suitable to plant, but she also felt it was a great song title for her and Blake’s duet, Purple Irises, released in February.
“I was on my way to a session, and it hit me,” Gwen said of the song in an Instagram video uploaded in late March.
OPENING UP
“It was like, Purple Irises. That’s the song.”
Gwen divulged that the love song, sung by her and her husband, is about her insecurities.
“And I actually wrote, put it in my phone, and drove into the driveway and went in and started writing this song about being insecure,” she explained.
The Just A Girl crooner further disclosed that her insecurities stemmed from her age and the idea of someone else getting in the way of her relationship.
“I knew the day I wrote Purple Irises I needed to be truthful to myself and write this song about, I’m getting older, I don’t feel pretty,” Gwen candidly confessed.
“If I don’t feel pretty, how could someone else think I’m pretty still?.”

She continued: “What if somebody tries to take my love away from me?”
“I really wanted to show how insecure I could feel.”
GETTING BETTER?
Gwen and Blake being back at their ranch might be their way of reconnecting as a couple.
For the last few months, there has been speculation that their marriage was on the rocks.
Gwen and Blake spent New Year’s Eve in different timezones because they both worked on the holiday.
A source claimed to Life & Style that Blake was “really upset” and “disappointed” that he couldn’t spend the night with his wife.
Their insider also alleged: “Gwen and Blake’s marriage is definitely in trouble.
“Lately, they’ve been at odds about everything from career decisions and the parenting of her three boys to where they spend most of their time.”
They concluded: “The tension continues to grow, and Blake and Gwen are drifting apart as a result.”
The U.S. Sun reached out to Blake and Gwen’s reps but did not hear.
