Relief
Years ago, while I lived with my parents, I brought home a pair of ducks a friend had given me because they were outgrowing their little apartment. Ducks are much more suited for farm living. Their eggs were delicious and they ate snails which was a blessing after having the worst post el Nino snail year. My mom and I got them a husband and they became many ducks. The farm my parents moved to didn't yet have a working pond or place safe from predators for the ducks to live. It was a stressful thing trying to figure out what to do with all the farm animals. To her relief, my mom found this lady to adopt the ducks. Her pond is huge and already has ducks, geese, and sheep living around it.26 Things III item "Relief".
