My Love Affair With Ducks...

[HalfWayUpAMountain]

It got too hot and just didn’t feel natural.

I can get like that when people have underfloor heating ramped up !

My love affair with ducks started the moment I saw my first duck hatch. She was the only egg that hatched so raising her alone meant I couldn't leave her alone. Closest I have to children, really. Among the other birds, dogs, snakes, fish, bees, etc

And she's a beauty! What's her name ?

Officially, she's Lady Norbert Quackmire. We assumed a boy at first, buuuuut, then the quacking started. "Norbie" is what we call her now (same duck in my avatar). She has two sisters now, but since she was raised by me exclusively (and the dog) she's always been a people duck and looooooves to sneak inside for snacks when I'm not looking.

Underfloor heating! I love that! My feet are always cold, even during the summer.
