visitation

We often recited this silly lil poem when i was young (and some of my family still does):

M r ducks
o s a r
cdedbd wings?

m r ducks!

Imagine my surprise when I see this very duck on my fence yesterday morning.
I wondered, really, how long she would stay
and what made the fence perch even slightly attractive.

and then, i saw him.


yes, the mallard was sitting below.

soon, she flew down beside him.
and then the two waddled under the fence,
out of my patio,
out of view.
