A mallard duck affectionately known as Freida adopted us this spring and soon built a nest next to one of our above ground pools. In what can only be termed ‘poetic, Freida’s eggs hatched today-Mothers Day 2009. We now have seven tiny little fuzz balls swimming in our in-ground pool.
We’ve turned the skimmer off so they can’t get trapped and we put out a Skamper Ramp so they can get out of the pool. But these ducks are headed to a better place-a local farm pond. But not just yet. There are still two eggs left in the nest so the family may still grow larger!
