You won't believe this Granny, even I can't.

There are a pair of ducks that land in my pool, and walk out on the pool
cover to drink the fresh water from the rain that lays on top. Well,
I almost ran them off a few days ago and I realized they were young ducks
and possibly the young of their parents who were here just three years ago
camping out and swimming in my pool. Well, I'm glad I didn't.

These Millard ducks are not shy and I can get within about five feet of them
before they start back peddling. Fun stuff, I like ducks because they
always travel in pairs like a couple.

This past morning I saw what looked like a golf ball on my pool cover, nope.
When I returned home from my business, and on closer inspection, it was an EGG.
Holy cow. She left me an EGG. That has to be the funniest thing that's
happened to me in my life.


(Duck leaves Egg for Homeowner, Thanks for the pool use)

Here's a pic of the egg,

I plan on eating the Duck egg tomorrow, my neighbor hunter was drooling when
he saw the egg. LOL, poor guy he'll have to wait.

God Bless You Granny. /Salute

I love ducks.

Use their eggs to bake with, the baked product will be better than with common chicken eggs.

My duck and goose eggs were for baking.

That is a fantastic strawberry tower, I like that one.

Your bags are growing well, interesting the things we can use.

LOL, I still think my cat food sacks will work too.

It would be fun to watch your ducks, I am glad you let them stay.

The first Mallard ducks we bought, from a town maybe 50 miles away, hauled them home in burlap bags, and were so excited to finally have our own ducks.

All was ready for them, and Bill dumped the 2 bags.

Paul turned to Mabel and said, “remember, follow me, don’t give them another chance to catch you!!!”, he wandered off a few feet, with Mabel right behind and all of a sudden it was a full lift off and they were launched and away....

Never to be seen again.

I have always wondered if the man who sold them to us, laughed while he waited for them to come back?

Your flower pots are doing well, but you need more of them, lots more, for what is coming.

Thanks for sharing the photos, next we want to see the ducks and if you find more eggs.
