Howdy, Neighbors!


Yesterday and today boasted idyllic weather. Out for my morning run, I witnessed nature’s finest on display– chirping cardinals, scampering squirrels, flowers in full-bloom… someday I’m really going to have to drag my camera along when I run!

All too soon, the temperatures’ll rise to the stifling 100+ category. But I’m not going to dwell on this gloomy prospect; instead, I’m taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather while it lasts. Spring is truly here, and it’s brought with it new life. For the past few weeks, we’ve watched a mamma duck sit dilligently on her nest, waiting for her eggs to hatch. Well, they’ve finally hatched!

So here they are– our new neighbors!


Hopefully the resident ducks gave them a warm welcome.

The resident ducks are five ducks that have lived in our neighborhood pond for the past few years. We’ve dubbed their leader as “Moe”. Look at his picture (below) and see if you can guess why!

    Aw! How cute are they?! We have a small pond in our apartment complex, and also have a family of little duckies that hang around. It’s a good thing I leash the dogs when we go for walks, I’m not sure how long the little ducks would last around my terrier!

    Wow 100 degrees already? Usually it waits until July for your Texas temperatures to get there!

    Beautiful, beautiful! And wishing we could split the difference with your 100+ temps–that would give us both about 70-80, just fine w/ me!

    Moe! Hehehe. Those duckies are so cute, I want to take them home with me so I could let them hop around my room and cuddle with me in bed and I’ll feed them trail mix or whatever it is that duckies eat.

    Your new neighbors are so lucky to have you as their neighbor!

    We need to design a runner-friendly camera pack that doesn’t bang on your thigh or back when you run! I sometimes bring my camera on my long Sunday runs, but it’s a pain!

    I love the ducks! Especially Punk Rock Moe, he rules!
