  3. Just got here again…

    Very glad the missing one is found. I hope it’s not injured!

  4. I like the goose-stepper duckling, as well as the other five. They all look self-assured of their importance in the grander scheme of things.

  5. Just getting here now! What cute little gems. Maybe the missing duckling just slept in this morning. Glad they are all accounted for. The goose stepper may march to the beat of his own drum if he was the missing one.

  7. Commented last sentence of Hili comment #4 posted 7:47 am….I was very relieved at update. Where could that little guy have been hiding?

  10. Congratulations on the birth hatching of your sextuplets!!

    I tried to find a greeting-cardesque poem about ducks, but wound up on a page with quotes about ducks instead. I think the quotes are even better:

    That’s my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck’s back. If it’s not positive, I didn’t hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy. – George Foreman

    The perils of duck hunting are great – especially for the duck. – Walter Cronkite

    I had my first French meal and I never got over it. It was just marvelous. We had oysters and a lovely dry white wine. And then we had one of those lovely scalloped dishes and the lovely, creamery buttery sauce. Then we had a roast duck and I don’t know what else. – Julia Child

    When Donald Duck traded his wings for arms, was he trading up or trading down? – Douglas Coupland

    Most Texans think Hanukkah is some sort of duck call. – Richard Lewis

  12. Please don’t be distressed by the lack of early comments. WEIT is my bedtime reading. And sometimes I skip a night and have to catch up the next night. But eventually I read everything, and comment when so moved.

  14. Have you seen those lemon-and-chocolate swirl sponge cakes?

    That’s why I can’t entirely be trusted around baby ducks. Wanna put ’em in my mouth.

    (If you don’t get that, you’re both fundamentally defective as well as morally better than me.)

  15. I am afraid of ducklings. It was proven at the Boston Museum of Science using a test on the way the eye dilates when it sees certain things. Oddly, I am not afraid of wolves or tarantulas.

    I think the test might be faulty.

  16. Mom looks like she is posing for the camera. I’m betting she will be your “social influencer” duck, as you, her staff covers her movements to see how she compares to the beloved Honey.

  19. Spring, rhodies and fruit trees in full bloom, longer days with more sun and best of all, baby ducks back at the pond. Though I miss Honey, life is good.
