Let the Duck "Fun" Begin

I don't know if any of the other "guys" reading this blog suffer the same consequence, but I usually end up with a bruised arm this time of year. "Why?", you ask. Because my wife watches the male ducks chase the females all over the yard - their natural instincts at work. You'd think I'd learn, but I annually remind my wife that, "See, it's totally natural. It's just a guy thing.", at which point she administers a well-placed knuckle to my bicep. She just "doesn't get it". But then she always enjoys the "cute little ducklings" as they follow their Mom in single file on the creek. How quickly she forgets the role the male played.

Why Would Today's Weather Make Me Think of Ducks???

Mergansers on a snowy morning - wish the liquid we've been getting all day was snow..........
