duck update

here is pip,

looking sharp this evening.

{milling about with potential suitors} 

i am worried, though,

because we have not seen patito

since saturday.

we have had some stormy weather

and nighttime temperatures near freezing,

so it is possible that she has migrated.

the living is very good at this pond, though,

and most of the ducks stay year-round.

sweet patito is so dear to us.

we will watch the skies until she returns,

and so will her sister.
