The Big Five-O

Well, it happened.....I turned 50 yesterday...And it was a really great day! There was cake and icecream.....


Work and play.....



And gifts and cards....




But the best gift of all was a surprise.....the ducklings hatched....earlier than I expected them to!
First, the 2 eggs under the broody duck hatched....


 ....and then 9 of the 10 eggs under the original duck hatched.....


Nothing is cuter than baby ducklings!!! I could just sit and watch them all day!

So far I think turning 50 is pretty great!
