Little duckie feet

Every spring the Linnton feed store has baby blue runner ducklings or itty bitty blue feet as my girls and I like to call them.

They are so ridiculously adorable.

I am unreasonably smitten by these creatures. I have to have the same talk with myself every year. The one about how they won’t be this cute forever, and the how chickens are enough, and ducks will wreck my garden, and on and on it goes … .  Until the day I walk into the feed store and they are all gone. I breath a sigh of relief, laced with regret, and go on with my day.

Aren’t they colorful and cute?
