Matt went outside to have his morning smoke and called me through the window screen. I could scarcely believe my ears. Baby ducks! I ran outside and there they were - marching behind Mama Duck. I decided to catch them and put them in a cage for their own safety. What a scene - a woman in a plain flannel nightgown and clogs chasing baby ducks around the barnyard. I got them caught and caged then watched in horror as they tried to squeeze through the wire to get back to Mama. I would have to catch her, too, but need a bigger arrangement. I decided to leave it to later after coffee and chores. They are so happy in the barnyard, marching around. It's a cool, rainy morning. Perfect for ducks.
