At long last we saw a family of ducks. Normally there would be several by this time but not this year. The ducklings were so new and so cute. Also very active as we tried to count how many there were. Maybe 7 or 8, we couldn't be sure.
This pair of Canada Geese had exactly one little one!
As we walked farther away from the lake there were Poppies and Lupines blooming in a raised bed.
My Poppies have big fat buds but so far none have opened. I'm not sure my Lupines came back this year because I still haven't pulled all the Forget-me-nots out. The Lupines could be under all that mess.
We heard Crows making a big racket and went to investigate. There was a raccoon about 20' up in a tree. That was earlier in the week. I'm wondering if I mentioned that already.
We had a lovely day with mostly sunshine. I worked outside for a couple of hours then came in to put my feet up and read more Miss Read . I'm so glad there's leftover vegetable soup for supper. I'll make cheese toast to go with it. I love when I don't have to wonder what to make!
Thanks for visiting, G.M.
I would be so thrilled to see a family of ducks. I love the little ones.
ReplyDeleteThe ducks and geese with their babies are so cute. We had a couple of Canadian Geese walk right through our yard at the trailer this afternoon. No babie with them though. :-)

So lovely to see the ducklings and gosling. I saw some goslings the other day, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh, that poppy in that one shot is just so beautiful! Love that whole bed though. I do not remember you mentioning the crows/raccoon. But then my mind is so cluttered I have a hard time saying my own name sometimes. The ducklings are adorable...and I wonder if something happened to the the other goslings.
ReplyDeleteSounds like spring has definitely arrived - love seeing all the new life and flowers bursting into bloom all around you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about dinner - it's sometimes such a relief not to have to worry about what to have :) xx
Very adorable little ducklings! In your second photo I could could nine.
ReplyDeleteMy big orange poppies haven't popped yet either.
Oh so nice to see the duck family!! So cute!
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean about not wondering whats for supper. That's one reason I love having a slow cooker, you can get supper going and then not worry about it.
Sooooo sweeeeeet little ducks! Wonder-ful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFun to see the baby duckings and one gossling...I bet there had been more:(
ReplyDeletePark people try to find the nests and addle most of the eggs in an effort to control the population of geese.
Deleteah, those babies are so sweety and fluffy. I love how they are a family. And that one little goose strutting beside mom and dad. I like not having to plan to much for supper, the easier the better, and leftovers can be your friend.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog! Glad I found you! I am so glad that Spring has sprung, just barely where I am in Maine. 💖
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Susan. Thanks for visiting and leaving a nice comment. I'm sorry I can't visit you because I see you don't have a blog. Maybe you'll decide to in the near ffuture.
DeleteWhat a joy to see those little ducklings, you took us on a wonderful stroll.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything cuter that baby ducks...well baby anything. :) Your flowers are so beautiful. I've never had a flower bed look so lush and healthy.
ReplyDeleteOh I enjoyed your walk...wish I could have walked with you. Love those little babies! look at your beautiful flowers! Girl, I know it takes work to keep those looking so pretty. I found a baby dove wandering around on Saturday in my yard while outside working. We have two doves that come often to feed on bird seed dropped to the ground so thinking this baby belonged with that family. I finally got him underneath a shelter away from swooping BIG birds so maybe he would stay safe. He was gone the next day but my husband said he was ready to fly so my prayer is that he did just that. Flew. I hope that you have a wonderful week dear GM. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
