Our neighbor's daughter Tracey moved back home this week and she brought with her five ducklings. Mom said no and there you have it, a few more feathered friends move in at Miller's Crossing. Our lone duck is thrilled, or at least he will be when they grow up and look more like him.
AnneMae and Connelly had a fun morning trying to catch them. If we sat still they would waddle right up to us, but one move and away they ran. They are so cute, somehow they seem less frantic than chickens.
Connelly perfected the catch method. He sat with his legs open and when they came in close to him he quick brought his feet together around them creating a little fence and picked up whichever was the closest. He never ceases to amaze his sister Lael with his brazen animals moves. She is much more timid, as afraid of hurting the animal as she is that the animal might hurt her.
