Just last week a mama duck decided to lay her nest at the very foot of our doorstep. We now have her sitting there every day on her 11 eggs! We named her Peaches. She's a beautiful duck with gorgeous royal feathers on her sides, and we've been feeding her whole wheat bread (keeping her away from bad carbs) and ducky food from the Tractor Supply Store in Whiteland. It has been so fun checking on her and watching her take care of her baby eggs while I'm pregnant. I'm not exactly certain how much longer she has to go, but I do appreciate her putting my life into perspective- I could NEVER have eleven babies at once and sit on them by myself all day and all night long for weeks!! Animals are a beautiful thing!
