Clean water

Duckies so happy that the power has returned so they can have clean pool water

hurricane IRENE

Keeping the duckies very close because of wind and rain causing falling branches etc during their break outside their house (during a lull in the storm) - hurricane IRENE

Hurricane IRENE

Giving the duckies a short break from being inside their house all day.because of hurricane IRENE. (super stormy but not huricane forces here West of Richmond, VA)

Arrived home after choir / praise team practice and went immediately to put the duckies "to bed" (into the duck house) for the night.  All the duckies were sleeping in the pools (girls/hens and boys/drakes).  They were so cute.  When I said time for bed, let's go to bed (which I say every night) they just looked at me.  It took practically stepping into the pool to get them out and headed to the house.

The sweetest thing is that the drakes were sharing pool space so nicely with the hens.
Then our sleepy duckies all went into the house to finish their night's rest.

Such sweet duckies tonight.

We have such beautiful duckies

yummy wet morning grass and running water!

They are wondering why GrMaDuck is leaning on the aviary fence.
"Silly GrMaDuck you have to use the gate to get in."
