My son loves watching the larvae in the creek - he thinks they move funny ;) <br /><br />I hear you about the ducklings and the water! We are moving our teenagers outside today. They will still need a light, but they can go crazy with the water out there. Happiness for all of us. We had 13 more hatch on Wednesday and we have another nest to hatch next week - what was I thinking???<br /><br />Someone identified the plant that I posted pictures of, it is called - “Heal All”, it is in the mint family and it’s Latin name is Prunella vulgaris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-47964963232119870522009-05-08T08:47:00.000-07:002009-05-08T08:47:00.000-07:00I am quite sure that ducklings are my favorite bab...I am quite sure that ducklings are my favorite baby.

We had 2 goldfish that thrived and grew in our sheep water trough, for several years...they were getting pretty big and then one day the Blue Heron spotted them and they are no more.<br /><br />Mary, the beauty of creation is amazing , isn't it? I guess ducklings have to grow fast because they have to fend for themselves pretty soon after hatching!<br /><br />Amy, does your niece's betta have a name?<br /><br />A.Joy,I notice I like to watch the biggest, yellow Rouen and there is a little , active and funny Dutch Hookbill......KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-40447386525391817112009-05-07T23:08:00.000-07:002009-05-07T23:08:00.000-07:00The kids and I really liked seeing the duckies in ...The kids and I really liked seeing the duckies in the pictures today!
