“Do it …we ain’t here for long.” ~ Unknown

I was fixing my morning tea when I heard a kerfuffle outside the window. I saw a female mallard fly over the fence and land softly in my backyard. Before long, her mate flew in, and they settled in for a nap before the dew gave way to the sun and heat. As I left Mom’s this evening, I saw the pair in her front yard headed toward my house. I found them settling in beside my smoke tree. I’m unsure what’s drawing this couple to the ridge (the spring is down the street behind Stacy’s), but I might need to build a water feature in the backyard because I like having them around.
