Ducklings and Zucchini

Mitchell (11) took this picture of an adorable duckling
Our few attempts at incubating duck eggs did not work out. We had one pip and never open the egg and one hatched but didn't survive. He never walked and passed after one day. My father suggested that I let the momma ducks sit on the eggs because that what they always did when he was a kid on the dairy farm. We went on vacation in the middle of June and this sweet mother duck started sitting on a large nest of eggs. This afternoon I checked on her and saw a duckling! At one point we saw two ducklings playing behind momma and one under her... so at least 3 ducklings. She is very cautious and doesn't want us to see them or come near the nest.

Earlier we saw two ducklings back in the pallet wall

Momma is mad at me for peeking

Yesterday my husband brought in some zucchini from the garden and it is still growing like crazy. I found a bunch of zucchini recipes to try out. What would you make with fresh zucchini?
