miscellaneous

the hummingbirds have returned to the feeders. the honeysuckle blossoms have faded, reducing the allure of those plants.  i missed them, especially at the feeder that hangs inches from the dining room windows.

the wee duckling census is four.  they grow larger each day.  everyday they survive the perils of the wild, the larger they grow.  the larger they grow, the more likely they will survive and enjoy adulthood.  every day i cheer them on!

all of the ducks typically swim close to the bank of the lake and watch me scatter their food. when i am finished and walk back toward the house, they hop out of the lake to chow down. this morning it was as usual until i made noise the little ones didn't like. they were halfway across the lake in no time with mama quacking after them as fast as she could paddle!

mama raccoon continues to bring her four little ones to the maple tree looking for munchies.  the munchies are there since munchies keep them out of the bird feeders.  the little ones are so cute, scampering across the lawn to their destination.
