Monday afternoon, while mowing the back lawn, my husband startled a duck. She had a nest hidden behind our three Gooseberry bushes (Duck - Gooseberry...Lol)! Amazingly, she has 13 eggs! I'm hoping that at least some of the eggs survive to become ducklings! I'll get photos of them if I can. Here are two photos my husband took on Monday:

Well, back to my ancestry search... then on to one of my guilty pleasures... American Idol!
I hope to be back blogging on a regular basis before too long! Until then...
Blessings!

I'm so excited! The nest is inside my fenced back yard and very well hidden behind the bushes. She's only half a block from the canal, so not a long walk once they hatch! I have a picket fence along the back that they can slip through. I'm hoping for the best. :)
Momma duck is an overachiever! How cute!
