Mara and the duck
This is Mara today at the duck feeding along with Old Red Face, the hen muscovy duck that is our favorite. Old Red Face doesn't like getting wet which makes being a duck difficult. Here she is poised on a rock attempting to grab food without actually getting her feet wet. When the baby and I go to feed her, she runs around the outside of the pond rather than crossing it to get to us the way everyone else does. We couldn't find her buddy today and I hope she is okay. Old Red drinks from a broken sprinkler rather than from the pond which has the risk of getting splashed. I wonder how she got on to that rock today.
Mara is almost 10 months old and getting very close to walking. She stands up and teeters for minutes before plopping onto her rear.
Today, I am grateful for the day I was given, the ducks and geese and Mara.
