waiting for ducklings

i got the call yesterday, that the ducklings should be in either today or tomorrow
but that they may all be dead due to heat
he said that they ship all the time and usually have no problems

but that i have to open the box at the post office

i was up all night

i hope they come today and all are ok     of course i will post pictures if they are ok---- now i am trying to get the pictures of my big maples up, the trunks are over 70'' in diameter, they are huge, but the pictures don't do them any justice at all, if you could see them, and stand next to them you would understand just how big they really are....... i could use a picture of bernie under one of them i could fit at least two of him in each trunk....maybe more
i would love to tap that sugar maple for syrup every year, i showed charlie, (from jody and charlie that i get the chickens from) as he taps his, and he thinks i can run the sap next season from both and boil it over an open fire
i would absolutely love that- could you imagine? syrup and sugar from our own trees?

ok i haven't had coffee yet so i am going to go as i want to be ready to run immediately to the post office if the babies are there

    Good luck with your ducklings. They are usually packaged to protect them from weather changes, so hopefully they will all be just fine.

    Have a good day. :)
