Duck Watching...

We feel like a commercial for the couple without a life. After our long day at work we both enjoy nothing better than to spend the first hour in our backyard hoping we might get a glimpse of Fred and Ethel. Last night we were blessed with Ethel's presence, while she came out to take a swim. Unfortunately, our little duck watchers... Yoshi and Aiko were also outside. Not that they caused a problem, but for the first time they saw her go up the duck ramp and into the clump of vines which camouflages her nest so well.

For the next 30 minutes, both of them ran back and forth trying to figure out how to get into the duck pen, without going into the pool. The good news is that evidently there is no way and they have no intention of going into the pool.

We are hoping the eggs hatch during this long weekend, but we actually think it will be closer to next weekend.
