It was early.
It was hot.
It was humid.
And it was sweet.
My son and I were reaching the end of our morning walk around the lake when we came upon a new little friend. She was with her mother and feeding the ducks by throwing bits of bread that they had brought with them on the ground.
We asked her if she would like to feed the ducks by hand. She said, without hesitation, but a bit shyly in the way that only a little girl can say:
"Yes!"
And as our new friend fed our Missy cracked corn from her hand you could see the sheer joy on her face...
And she was smitten.
And so were we.
