There was a time in my ilfe

There was a time in my life when I lived in Effie, Louisiana and traded city sidewalks for feathers, feed buckets, and a little pond at the curve in the road. For a girl raised in Houston, it felt like stepping into another world.

I had three breeding pairs of ducks: Muscovy, Mallard, and Pekin. We also had several kinds of chickens, so there was always something clucking, waddling, splashing, or fussing about.

They had a small pond and an open pen, but the ducks mostly flew free. They would wander where they pleased, then come gliding or waddling back home. 

It was noisy, messy, lively, and so much fun. For this former city girl, country life in Effie, Louisiana was an adventure full of experiences I never could have imagined.
