Dogs play porch potatoes.
Cats laze by windows.
Goats hide in their houses.
So do sheep.
Chickens head for overhangs.
Gardens soak….
…..and hills sigh.
But ducks…..
Ducks love rain.
Ducks get right out in it. No cowering or hiding. No napping or running for cover.
Ducks know a good thing when they see it.
For when it rains….
….the most bashful animals in the barnyard….
….rule.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I am just adoring your blog!
We keep a small farm ourselves and you sure hit the duck nail on the head. I just released a pair of white crested ducks and caught them out in their first rain. They were plopped down in the middle of an abandoned barnyard just looking up at the raindrops in happy wonder. Ducks are always the only ones out in the rain.
Thanks so much for your regular posting, Amy

At our last house there was a pond nearby with two white ducks. A cute couple. I loved it when it rained because they always came out of the pond and splashed around in the puddles. It could’ve been raining buckets but they were splashing around and having a blast the whole time. I loved driving by the pond on rainy days just so I could see those ducks and how happy they were.

The fur and feathered babies are all so adorable. They look so content in their lives with you.

That looks like a perfect day to me. Falling rain, a big front porch with sleeping dogs and ducks waddling all around. Ahhhhhh.

I have been lucky enough the past four years to have a Mallard couple visiting us each spring – they are beautiful, and they stick to each other like glue and love the rain puddles in my yard.
