Look what came in the mail today

My daughter Kate ordered six mallards. The local post office called this morning to tell us they were there and we needed to come pick them up.  Oh my Goodness!  How cute are they?  She wants to raise them and let them loose on our lake.  I'm worried that there are too many predators and they won't survive.  We shall see. I have to think positive!

    They are sweet - they are going to love the lake and you all are going to enjoy viewing them. By the way, I love your new blog look. Very nice!

    Hugs

    How cute those little ducklings are! I would keep them safe inside for awhile before taking them to the lake. I once saw an owl try to take a baby duck out of the river. Fortunately, I was there to scare the owl off in time. Take care, Janicce

    Oh my, they sent them in the mail?! The poor wee ducklings, I can't begin to imagine how terrifying that must have been for them! I hope they survive, it will be hard for them without a Momma to show them the ropes, you will have to be their Momma Duck Pat! Deb
