Wednesday we discovered that our home became home to a Mama Duck and her 10 baby ducks. After removing them from the egress window well and freeing them in the front yard, the babies returned back to their original nests in the backyard window wells. We fed them, gave them water, and freed them again to follow their Mama, but they felt right at home with us, so they spent a couple days with us before finally leaving for a much bigger adventure. It's a good thing too, because our Mommy is definitely NOT a farm girl! The angels visited during the night to carry a couple baby ducks up to heaven, who didn't survive the cool night outdoors without their Mama. :( Great life lesson and learning opportunity for both Mommy and the kids!
