They are cute aren’t they Raj – you can still be cute in the muck and mire when you’re a duckling.

That’s for sure Barbara – bad enough the seaweed and muck and mire, but water bottles and what not left behind by humans. Poor babies. They were very cute – Mama’s little darlings.

Yes it was Rebecca. Mama zig-zagged in and out of the muck and mire and they just followed along making their little duckling noises. They were pretty big … for sure she would not lose them in the seaweed clumps. They never strayed far from her side.

They were so cute Shelley. I could not help but think of the little duck’s photo on the label of “Mucky Duck Mustard” – I don’t know if this tangy mustard is a regional thing, but it only used to be available at some stores. They cleaned up nicely once they left the gunk and didn’t even need Dawn Dishwashing Soap!

Yes, they are so cute. I’ve never heard of Mucky Duck Mustard – Googled it and see that Walmart carries it.
That’s great they didn’t need Dawn to get clean, that’s a good thing!

You’ll have to try it Shelley. I’ve not bought it for a while – the only place that carried it around here was Westborn Market, a fun produce market that had a lot of vendors with specialty items. They had a Stahl’s Bakery area – their specialty was “Belly Button cookies” – they were very large, crispy, flat, praline cookies – Stahl’s Bakery went out of business but this was a treat every time we went to Dearborn. They were a ridiculous price for about eight cookies. Yes, those ducklings cleaned up well – they didn’t need dunkin’ in Dawn Dishsoap.

I’ll keep my eye out for it. Those hometown bakeries smell so delightful and the items are priced high! We had a cupcake company pop up during early days of COVID and they made a fortune on their $8/cupcake pricing.
Yay for mother nature’s baths – and resilient feathers!

I would go into Westborn Market to pick up a few items – peeled the price tag off the cookies. They were ridiculously high as their trademark cookies. I am not really big on Danish pastries – if I’m going to indulge it would be something crunchy like a cookie, but my mom loved their bear claws, another of their specialties. They are out of business now – sold their vintage store to a brewery or pub. That is ridiculous pricing for cupcakes!! Those ducklings sure cleaned up well!

It’s wise to be selective when purchasing a treat that really isn’t good for us to eat! 🤣 Pups, breweries, and wineries seem to stay in business.

We had a pub/brewery in my city and it closed down due to Covid. It amazed me because it got good reviews and whenever I passed during the day, they were busy. Covid killed them and now it sits empty – what a shame.

My mother used to have an expression of something being as snug as a bug in a rug. Now I’m thinking about the luck of a duck in the muck.

My mom used to say that expression too JP – so many clever expressions we grew up hearing have vanished now. Your quip is great (as usual) … the ducks had no problem navigating around the muck and mire, no sink or swim. I saw them and immediately thought of Mucky Duck mustard, a tangy mustard made here in Michigan which you can only buy in the bigger produce stores or butcher shops.
