The day Joel let the Mallard ducks go.....

OK--Joel loves to ranch, but he doesn't have a ranch. He raised these ducks from the day they were three days old. They were a "Easter Present" for the family. They were in the kitchen under a lamp until they got older. Then they were put in the backyard in a pen. Soon they were huge, and were getting in the street. The next door neighbor told him "Maybe you should find a new home for your ducks. They might get eaten by a dog, or worse--hit by a car". He could never find a suitable place for the pair--until he thought about the ranch we were going to visit --so they are now in the possession of the Peterson's of Spring City. They like it there we are told.
