Getting all my ducks in a row...

I kept hearing this weird noise. I said it was some sort of bird. Danny said it was just some kids. We were both right. There were two little girls from down the street at our front door who were very excited because they found a mama duck and 8 babies in our yard! They chased them up to our front door, but the girls ran off when they saw me looking back at them. I got a couple pics through the window. Danny told the girls not to chase the ducks anymore and we watched them cross the street. They all made it over the curb except for one, but the good mama duck waited until the little duck finally conquered the curb! Then they moved about until they reached the very center of the cul-de-sac across the street for a little rest. I walked across the street camera-in-hand to try to snap some pics about 10 minutes later. They were still there, trapped between two houses. I hope they all make it to the pond down the street.

Recent Findings

Finding #1:
Last week we went to dinner and a short run through Target for a few items. We have been pleased to be able to leave Annabelle out of her crate for several hours at a time when we went on short trips (1-2 hours) out of the house. However, this time was different. We came home to this:


Among the items destroyed (partially or fully) included several cardboard boxes, some optometry freebies (aka - "benefits") from the American Optometric Student Association, the front and back cover of the Consumer Reports Buying Guide, a brand new and previously unopened bottle of Rain-X (puncture hole in bottle caused it to spew everywhere during clean-up), various papers, 2 toothbrushes from our recent trips to the dentist, etc.

Finding #2:
Usually these are the types of birds we see in our backyard.

Yesterday I saw this in our backyard:


You can click on the photo to see it full size - examine the talons (impressive). We hear an owl outside every night that we have thus far been unable to photograph - but we have seen it's silhouette in the massive electrical tower in the field behind our house.

Finding #3:
Sometimes Annabelle looks almost human (and not in the "Yearbook Yourself" kind of way).
