Oh it was. We used a pool scoop, got them on the lawn, and they jumped back in! The second time, we took them to our front yard (by a bunch of shrubbery) which was separated from the pool by a fence. That was a smarter idea.
Love the photo. I had pet ducks (white Pekin) as a kid and loved them so much I got some for my kids years later (truth be told, I got the ducks as much for myself as for the kids).
Yes. — but it didn’t hurt that I was the one who gave the ducks food and water! (Other than that, ducks are low maintenance, as they can stay outdoors in all kinds of weather.)
“like” – do you get people hitting a like button on these posts? Or is it completely missing from everyone’s, not just mine? There are a lot of posts where I don’t feel a need to comment, just want you to know I really did like it!
That is so strange. Yes, the “like” button is working. When you mentioned it earlier (last month, I think) I couldn’t find anything wrong at my end. Thank you for the like and taking the time to bring the issue to my attention. I’ll check again. Cheers.

I had a mother and her flock in my pool. It took forever to get them out!

They are completely cute, but I wouldn’t want them in my pool! Trying to get them out must have been interesting.

Did they enjoy them as much as you did? I noticed that usually, the things I found so interesting as a kid didn’t appeal much to my own kids. Cheers.

Don’t put a lot of effort into it – but if all I do is write “like” in comments, you’ll know why!
