An update on the duck that I blogged
previously. Yesterday evening, the duck was fluffing and spreading wings quite often and during this process, we could see some movement underneath its wings. Ducklings!!! Eggs are finally hatched. Kids were glued to the windows to see some glimpses of the little ducklings and to count how many there were. We were expecting them to be gone this morning, but the mama duck is sitting on the eggs/chicks with a couple of ducklings' faces visible around her body. I could see a few, but there were about 8 eggs in there. Not sure when she'll leave with the ducklings. Perhaps there are some more eggs to be hatched....
Can you see the duckling underneath the wing?

Daphne's Dandelions for Harvest Mondays. This week was when I finally dug out the Yukon Gold potatoes. Kids were excited to dig and find some. I have them in the container, so it is easy to dump the contents onto a tarp and go through the dirt. It is hard to miss any potatoes that way! Also, cherry harvest continued. Will be making a pie today :)
