A couple of weeks ago, when we were having alot of rain storms, a duck showed up in our front yard.
Now, whenever it rains really hard, our yard literally becomes a pond. Well, not EXACTLY a pond, but pretty close to it! :-) But it has gotten deep enough that when the boys go out to play in the puddles, the water goes up almost to the tops of their boots in some places.
Anyway, we just happened to look out after one of those rainstorms, and saw this not-so-pretty (I was going to say ugly, but that's kind of harsh, don't you think?) duck walking around the yard.
The boys got excited. We took pictures. We went out and tried to walk up to her, but she only waddled just out of our reach, which told us she was someone's domestic duck. And I was pretty sure (and hoping) that she wouldn't stay. Uh-huh! A couple of weeks and a messed up playset and driveway later (ducks, if one doesn't know, leave very large messes), she is still here. And it doesn't look like she's going anywhere anytime soon. She has made friends with our cats and dog. They all hang out in Butcher's (our dog) area. My husband told us not to feed her and she'll go away. Hmmm. That didn't work. I don't know what she is eating, but she drinks out of our dog's water bowl.
We researched the internet to find out what kind of duck she is, and the closest we can come to is a Scobie duck.
So, I guess for now, Duck Duck Goose is a member of the Boyd menagerie!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
The Boyds :-)
