enjoying the little things....


with this amazing weather, we took our first walk around "my pond" on sunday. 
i was honestly surprised to see so many ducks, so early in the season.


the women were busy claiming their "nesting" spots
while the men were busy doing whatever it is they do.


it's funny how i can walk the same pond over and over and never get bored.


i mean really. 
don't cattails fascinate you. 
they don't. oh. well then you'd hate "my pond."
~
wait. they do. 
well then you can come along with me on my pond walks any day.

  3. I adore cattails as they always take me back to the day of childhood and walking along a gravel road where water stood in the ditches... cattails were always abundant!

  5. Yes, we walk by the river most days and there is always something new to see.
    We've had the same pair of ducks hang out in our pond for the last three years and I really hope they come back this year.
    Cat tails are great, we have a bunch if those in our pond too.

  6. I know what you mean about never tiring of your pond. Today I'm missing our old pond, our old way of life, the love that used to be there. I don't know what's wrong with me. But I can't be glad all the time.
    No - I haven't downloaded the book yet. But I'm planning on it!

  13. Like you I can see much after repeat times of a special place. I have several hikes that each time feels new. Mostly because of the light in the sky and how it filters through the trees.

    I like cat-tails but we have none near us sadly.

  20. Cattails, oh dear - I do like seeing them, but they remind me of a time many years ago when women used the fluff for sanitary napkins. Now you can have that in your mind too. Laughing!

  21. My stepfather was nearly arrested while stealing cattails from the side of the road for my mom when they were dating. He won my heart that day.
