We headed up to Grandma's Irvine house and a duck landed in her backyard. We saw two ducks flying and one landed and the other kept going. As you know, a male and female duck mate and stay together for life, so when the female duck landed, we knew the male couldn't be far. She stood around and we tried to give her some crackers. Then we heard her hubby calling. He suddenly swooped in and they walked around the yard, checking things out. He must have explained to her that they were headed for a lake not too far from the house and that, as lovely as my mom's yard appeared, it wasn't the place for them. So they both jumped up on a small brick wall surrounding my mom's roses, and then they talked and flew off together, so romantic. Off to make their new home, another perfect match! |
