Opening Day

At last, the much anticipated moment! Well, actually, no. I took this the day after, when the ducks were finally used to this new hole in their universe. On the big day itself, during a small, socially distanced ceremony attended by Beverly, Tony, Jerry, and John, it took Beverly, laying an enticing trail of spinach, to finally get them to come out.


Decorations included a horseshoe Tony had dug up while building the pen. I would love to know how it came to be in the ground there. Beverly brought a festive garland to hang.


Pleased to find that this new dimension also contained food and water, the ducks settled down to enjoy the view. Now they hang out happily all day and return to their cozy coop at night. Again, not quite true. As I was leaving them to it on the first day, Eggatha announced loudly that they would also be requiring regular trips to the yard and dips in their blue snow-saucer pool.
