Well, it's not the game we were playing today, it's the visitors that unexpectedly stopped by to take a pit stop on our freshly mowed lawn. We were amazed to see them in the area as we are not close to the river in town where the ducks hang out. Our neighbors, Catherine & Michael, were out & had seen them also. We said they are so gorgeous & Catherine stated that they are trying to build a nest in the new landscaping they put in last year. Apparently last night they had made a mess of the landscaping by trying to build a nest. Our neighbors don't want them. We can understand the reasons why, nobody wants a pond full of fecal matter & we ALL know how much crap a duck can dish out on one scale or another.
DH had stepped closer to try and get a much better picture & they actually waddled towards the camera and settled on the lawn as if they knew they were about to be Internet celebrities. They were so cute together. We wish they could stay! I asked Catherine if I should grab some bread and feed them? She sternly replied NO! No sooner had I asked and her little dog Cricket chased them away. Oh well, to appreciate seeing something we all take for granted made both of us smile and reflect on the day we went to the river & fed the ducks.............. The joys of Summer!
