Mommy Duck and her eight ducklings decided to take their morning dip in our newly opened pool!!!!
We had not added chemicals or cleaned it yet as it is a long process, but this was certainly a wonderful way to start our morning. :+)
They were having a wonderful time of it.
Then Momma Duck decided it was time to leave and she hopped out, but....
the baby ducks could not because the water was not high enough! Oh no!!
Momma Duck called and called, but to no avail. She tried one corner of the pool....
and then the opposite corner but they could not reach the decking.
So I decided to take action and put in a reed rug on the corner. It is lightweight and floats on top of the pool and maybe the ducklings could use it as a ladder! With mom encouraging them, they approached.
Yeah, most of them could get on it, but there was the littlest duckling that wasn't quite there yet. Come on, little guy!
There he did it! And off they all marched down the driveway to our pond! Such a pleasant morning to see this unfold successfully. :+)
