Ducklings Are Here!
Thursday, June 8th, 2006As I quietly worked raking new topsoil along the edge of the lake yesterday, the mama Mallard swam out from under water lilies with a string of new ducklings lined up behind! The baby chicks are adorable, so fat and fuzzy. I stopped work and watched them for quite awhile as they floated in and out of the lilies and lake grasses until they were out of sight. What a pleasant interruption. The vision of those baby ducks stayed in my mind throughout the day as I continued my work raking the soil.
