Ducks and horses



The ducks from down the lane have been visiting us twice daily for a week or so now, and this morning I watched a drama unfold as they encountered the horses in the front field. There was galloping, and mock-spooking, circling and alerting, and the ducks made their way from the bottom of the front field up the hill, around the house to the garage area, down the driveway, back through the front field, and then finally back to the driveway where they took to the neighborhood lane to head home. If you look closely above you can see them. The horses had a grand work-out and I had a grand time watching the show.

  1. Sounds like a good time was had by all...except maybe the ducks!

  2. They tried to go in the stalls with the horses, pony, and donkeys this afternoon! They were here all day - not sure why they are so enamored of this place suddenly!

  3. You must have good eating there. Specialty gourmet bugs! Or maybe they like the company of your herd, dogs and cats.

  4. Definitely lots of millipedes right now and flies, ugh - but I guess treats for the ducks!
