Moonlight Drive

What a beautiful weekend, and so far a beautiful day. I'm out on our back porch having my coffee, and I can hear quacking noises....immediately I remember our ducks. We have pool, and the cover always fills in with water no matter what we do. Three years ago I noticed two ducks on the edge of the pool. A male mallard and a female. Every year my dogs would run them off, or myself. I would hate to think what pool water would do to them once we open it and add all the chemicals.

This year only the female showed up. I noticed her last week, and Dakota quickly ran her off. Today I hear two or more ducks....so I pull my jedi silent move and check it out. There are two females in the pool just swimming along. I wonder where the male went? Is it girl ducks day out. Has she chosen a alternative lifestyle and found love with the female duck? Are they both widows consoling each other?

I know I put way too much thought in these things...lol  I just feel kind of strange without the male showing up...is he detained at the border, running late, or has he moved on not finding love in his partner of 3 years? Okay, enough coffee. I must get busy...working tonight.

  We too have a pool (since 1986) and we live only 2 blocks from a lake where there are lots of ducks & geese.  We often wondered if they would stop by the water here, but never have. We have a floating ramp in case the dogs fall in that they can crawl out...sparrows like to walk down it for a drink. LOL
  I wonder too, where your mallard has gone. He was probably gay.
  I've missed you. How are things?
  Hugs, Barb

  Perhaps the male is being served in an orange sauce.

  Maybe your pool has become a singles hot spot and the males just haven’t found it yet do to bad club promoting.  Do to mislabeling in a rolodex the club promoter in stead of running an ad in playduck and duckoriasecret, the promoter ran ads in Betternests magazines.  Unfortunately your pool is going to become a hot spot for spinster ducks.  Sigh… I wish I had a pool, I’d even settle for one with spinster ducks.
  Love, Sebastian
