The only word for me to describe what it feels like to have a baby duck eat from my hand is beautiful.
I am so treasuring all of the moments on my lake.

A Cup of Cereal
Did you know it is much easier to eat cereal from a coffee cup?
But having a spoon helps of course.
;-)
Question
"Will my feet REALLY get that big Mama?"
;-)
You've Got Me
A little baby duck has been all alone on the lake for two weeks. No family in sight. Waddling by himself. Sleeping by himself. Eating by himself.
Well not anymore. :-)
This mama swan has adopted him. They now are inseparable. They are side by side all day and all night.
And again.. my heart overflows.
Jubilation
1. an act of rejoicing.
2. an expression of great joy.
If we can feel utter joy in mere moments... we are so blessed.
Thank you my swan for letting me live YOUR moment.
Still Together
Our 8 ducklings are growing up! I believe they are about 6 weeks old now.
Papa Goose and Mama Duck are amazing in their devotion and protection.
They stay together as a family night and day with Papa leading the way.
When I see them running across the grass to me as I arrive at the lake it makes me teary every single time. I am so HONORED that they have allowed me to be a part of their family.
What have I learned since I have been sitting, singing, and talking with them on the grass?
Well many many things. They each have their own distinct personality. They each have their own way of eating out of my hand. One is very shy. One is very bossy. One is very ornery. One is very dependent on its mama. One likes to be by himself. One never stops chirping.
And two still love each other very much.
:-)
But mainly I have learned this:
Every single life IS truly one of a kind.
And absolutely precious.
I hope you have a beautiful Sunday.
Good Morning Banana Bread
How I love you!
;-)
Baby Steps
:-)
Ready! Set!...
Jump!!!
;-)
For Yvonne...
Timeless and free.
We live.
We breathe.
We grieve.
Then we live.
Then we breathe.
Then we believe.
This image is dedicated to my friend, Yvonne, whose beloved father has passed away.
May she find peace in the days ahead and know how very much I care.
And understand.
Instant Gratification
If you happen to love asparagus, mushrooms, and gorgonzola cheese then you will love this 50 second recipe. So delicious and ALMOST instant gratification! ;-)
Rinse fresh asparagus and snap off the ends. Place on a dish. Top with fresh mushrooms. Microwave for 25 seconds. Then sprinkle fresh gorgonzola cheese on top. Microwave again for 25 seconds. Remove from microwave and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle a dash of kosher salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes on top.
And enjoy!
Trust me! This IS good. And you will only have one dish to clean!
:-)
For Cindy
Our Little One.
One of my very best friend's birthday is today and this is her present from me... one of my images of Little One in a carved wooden frame. She loved her as much as I did! I so hope she likes it!
I will never forget her calling me on the phone early that spring morning as dawn was breaking and with excitement in her voice to tell me that a new baby was about to be born on the lake. I quickly threw on clothes... no time for coffee or worrying about eyes still blurry and rushed down to the lake as fast as I could. I knew a precious moment was about to happen. I so didn't want to miss it.
And I so didn't. There were several precious moments as the babies were being born all around the lake, including Easter morning with the arrival of Little One. :-)
And well.... you know the rest of the story.
I love you Cindy. I love you Little One.
His Story
Mama Duck gave birth to 18 little ducklings a little over a month ago.
She was on the lake - alone - for a few days with her tiny babies. There was no mate in sight.
Then miraculously this handsome goose came along and decided to claim her and her babies as his!
HE HAS NOT LEFT THEIR SIDE SINCE.
Over the last month Mother Nature decided that there would only be 8 ducklings to survive from this family and remain on earth. And those are the ones that I have been sharing with you.
During this time, our Papa Goose has defended; protected; nurtured; and most importantly LOVED his surrogate family with utter and complete devotion. They do what he says...and yes he speaks - albeit goose speak - and they follow and obey him. He is definitely the one in charge. I honestly believe that the reason there are EIGHT still with us is because of HIM.
For night and day.... day and night... he is on guard.
This goose is AMAZING. And this is the only time that I have seen him close his eyes and sleep and not be on guard.
God bless you Papa Goose! You've done good. You've done REAL good.
