the way home

took the ducklings out to the fig orchard with me today so they could have some outside time and i could get a little weeding done.  

when the sun and the temperature started dropping we called it a day.  staal led the way home,   walking backward and encouraging them to follow.

they raced after him and ran right up onto the front porch and into the house where we helped them back into the brooder for a well-deserved nap.
