When the Hubs said he saw a duckling at our local Battle Point Park, you know I had to dash out ~~since the sun was shining and I could avoid that laundry pile a few minutes longer. Bonus!~~.

Prepare your ah‘s and oh‘s.Is that me? *Sniff*Cuteness, right?And a whole family strolled by, too.This fellow had a few choice quacks when I not-so-subtly crept up on him and the Mrs.Not to be outdone, a ring-necked duck showed up. (No, I don’t know where his freaking ring is.)All in all, a lovely spring day ~~even with my allergies~~.

–Break in snowing–thankthehighheavens, you mean I can leave my block??

DAY 4:
–Still snowing. At least we have power.
