The Duck

The duck has lost her duck marbles.  Reasons the duck has lost her duck marbles and may require psychiatric evaluation:

  1. Sunday she escaped into the Big Back Yard.  Again.  Sara and I were in the pool and at one point Sara said, "You're duck is in the yard!  You have to get her."  So I jumped out of the pool.  Scooped up the duck and put her back in her yard.  (The dogs were in the house.)  Sara and I then used our superior thinking skills to devise where the duck was getting out and a way to fix it.
  2. Monday she was very pissed off that she didn't couldn't get in the Big Backyard and kept sticking her head through the chain link.
  3. Wednesday the duck laid her egg in the middle of the yard.
  4. Thursday she moved her nest to the top of the concrete brick by her pool.  Nothing says maternal instinct like laying an egg on a concrete brick.  While I was out looking for today's egg in every conceivable nook and cranny, I found a skeleton.  Yes, something else has met its end in my yard.
The duck's new nesting area.  Because that makes sense.

Evidence- Someone please call the Hawaii 5-O Guys.
