We are so blessed that the little pond outside our congregation’s office is a mommy duck haven in the spring. Two mother ducks have had their eggs hatch there. One has eleven babies and the other, six. Today we went to see and feed them. Norah and Sammy just loved it. I tore tiny little pieces of bread for Norah, but she couldn’t quite throw them far enough at first. The babies are still skittish about people, but as they grow bigger that will change! I promised we could go back and feed them again next week. Norah asked if we could go again tomorrow – she can’t wait! She said there is a mommy duck, a daddy duck, a Sammy duck, a Norah duck and a puppy duck. A puppy duck? I asked. Norah told me every family has a dog. She is too cute! She even brought her pink princess binoculars for duck watching………..
