The Weather Outside is Frightful

A family of ducks is known to visit the stream behind our house.  We see them feeding a few times a day and I like to point them out to Jenna as we go downstairs (we have a large window in the stairway landing that overlooks the stream).  Today, I noticed a huge brown mass on the north bank of the stream.  It was the ducks, huddled together, trying to stay warm.  You know it must be cold if the ducks have to huddle for warmth!  I didn’t catch a picture when all of the ducks were huddled, but you can still see the mass. Also, we have recently had a crane living in the creek as well. You can see it in the picture. It is the taller brown lump (for lack of better words) on the right, about 3/4 up.

Here’s Jenna as we were heading downstairs and I was trying to point out the ducks. This picture reminds me, we trimmed her bangs last week.  What a fun task.  I got them as straight as I could…

Back to the ducks - there we go, now she sees them!

We watched the ducks for a few minutes, then headed downstairs for a drink. Thirsty?
