For folks who don't know, KB (who is often blogged about here as my bartering and hiking friend), also keeps the Ranch humming when I have to be on the road. I was nervously calling him during my recent speaking event travel to see if the ducklings had emerged, and luckily they didn't emerge until a couple of days after I got home. If they had, though, I know they would be in good hands with KB, who hasn't eaten a genetically-modified product since their invention.

Everything she did was as a duck on a mission. No distractions allowed. Don't bother me gals(I think that's the technical term for female ducks), I don't have time to waddle around and quack. Good lesson. I was struck by Pilar’s approach to life in the days leading up to the hatching. Everything she did was as a duck on a mission. No distractions allowed.
