Duck Days
Monday,
The little ducks go into fits of joy running on top the water, swimming the length underwater, shooting out of the water like a rocket with a big quack! The more I laugh the crazier and funnier they get. I get soaked as they run across my lap or dive under and kick water all over me. Then they suddenly just stop and preen, what nice ducky’s. Another quick decision... time to eat the pond flowers.
Tuesday,
Not too much plant damage and the water has cleared right up so must be time for those ducks to get back to work! Come on duck duck ducks...
Ally Pup takes here duck herding/caretaking duties very seriously.
Yep they are messy!
Wednesday,
June 1st and it was snowing!
The ducks are not even the slightest bit concerned about the weather. The snow piled up on their backs and they paid it no attention. The fish started chasing their legs and bumping them from below, the little ducks hop out of the water, waggle around a bit, then hop right back in. The fish have really livened up with the new silt kicking floaty toys around. The loud noise in the background was the new duck house construction underway.
Today the fish were really chasing the ducks around... what a fun new game!
