Wednesday morning I carried the 18 ducks we hatched and raised from the pond pasture to the Duck Mansion. Michael returned from Colorado Wednesday evening. The next day, yesterday, we started our duck harvest. We finished today, saving 4 ducklings to augment our flock. Now all are tucked into the Duck Mansion for the winter.

Tomorrow they say it will snow. Today, I give thanks to my ducklings for nourishing my body and soul, with love and gratitude.
