Surprise Visitors

    A nice surprise this morning, the male and female Mallard ducks were back when I looked out early this morning. They hung around for a while (just hope they are not nesting in my back yard), perched on the fence to groom their feathers, then flew off. Quite a treat to see them.



   It was another scorcher today but we had decided to play tennis at 8:00 a.m. By the time we stopped at 10:00 it was getting quite steamy so we were glad to quit and head for somewhere cool, in my case a quick dip in the pool!

  1. Aww, look at those ducks. So cute. Well unless they are swimming in your pool.

    God bless.

  2. A dip in the pool with a summer cooler. The ducks are gorgeous. Do they make a lot of ... um ... mess?

    1. I only found a couple of deposits on the deck which I hosed off. The birds that nest in my eaves are worse.

    1. I've seen them earlier in the year but usually by now they have headed up north where it is cooler. I think this pair my be doing that soon, it's so hot here today.

  4. Lovely visitors & I hope that they remain as visitors & not become residents. I too was able to enjoy the cooling joys of a pool - my friend is away & I'm housing sitting :)

    1. Lucky you! There's nothing like it when we have a heat wave, is there?
