. . . when did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall? Wasn't it yesterday when they were small? . . .
Well, it was bittersweet, because we have become so attached to this little guys and gals:
But this is what they looked like yesterday, when we released them at the lake where they were born:
Some difference, ay?
The larger duck (with the arrow pointing to him) is actually their papa.He hadn't seen them since their mama disappeared and they were only a few days old . . .
They seemed to adjust pretty well to being Grown Ducks, and grazed happily on grass seeds and lake goodies.
It was a little sad to leave them behind, but we know that they are going to be very happy here! (And we'll be back to visit soon!)
Love,
Oh it only seems like yesterday... but all babies have to fly the nest (sorry couldn't resist)! You have done a wonderful job. Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteOh, so bittersweet, but the right thing for all of you. I wonder if they will come to you when you visit? I'm looking forward to seeing them again, go soon.
