Homeschooling Kiwi Style

Felicity

Posted in Nature Study

My husband Eeuwe reads aloud to the girls every night that he can.  Recently they have read the book called "Daggy Dogfoot" by Dick King Smith, who also wrote "The Sheep-pig" which was made into the movie "Babe."   In "Daggy Dogfoot" one of the characters is Felicity, the muscovy duck.  It so happened that while we were still reading the book, a muscovy duck wandered into our front yard from the farmland across the road.  Of course, we had to name her "Felicity!"  She comes over to our yard several times a week, and the girls have taken to feeding her the bread scraps!  One day we noticed the cars on the road (a main road into our town) were slowing down, only to see Felicity and her mallard friends crossing the road!  We are hoping not to have a fatality anytime soon!!
