Just to keep things interesting this past month we fostered an orphaned duckling that the kids and their friends rescued out of the river. Somehow the duckling got named Philbert….if he turns out to be a she then her name will be Philberta according to the kids. In the beginning Philbert stayed in a tub in our bathroom but as he/she grew he/she got moved to the garage in a bigger tub. Everyone took turns changing out the water and food and bedding. Everyone enjoyed playing with Philbert outside and he/she would run after the kids and they would all giggle. This past week it was obvious that Philbert was getting big enough to go join our friend’s farm and their chickens and ducks. We loaded Philbert up and took him/her over. Luckily they live very close and we can visit and watch Philbert grow.
