The children's song about the little ducks leaving the nest to fly away has always been one of my favorites. Every mother has seen their babies fly away and rejoiced. Life comes full circle. Animals live that same cycle. Babies grow up. Birds leave the nest. Life goes on. So when the three ducks show up every year near my patio I am not surprised. But I am puzzled that it always seems to be the same three. Something just doesn't seem right. It appears the one did not fly away at all. Five little ducks Went out to play Over the hills and far away. The mommy duck went "quack, quack quack," Four little ducks came swimming back... And then Three Two and One. A drake, a female duck (a hen) and a not quite a drake but still not a hen gather here on the 5th green of the golf course. She leads and the other two follow along obediently. They eat, sleep, and guard each other. Each and every day this time of year they come. I have not named them. Jinxing them would be very pos...
Ah yes, life in the fast lane! Just smile nod your head while you remember that lenders just love to mess with folks who are waiting to have a semi-permanent place to call home. AND remember they are just getting back at you because you guys are "Snow Birds"!
ReplyDeleteYes, Bob, you a probably right...but you know what the lender has really good, nice people working for them. I have a hard time blaming anyone. Unfortunately I think, in this particular case, it really is bad Karma or maybe ghosts! Darn! :-)
