We Have Teenagers!

Have you ever thought about all the ways ducks and geese are integrated into our sayings?
Goose bumps
What's good for the goose is good for the gander

DUCK!!!! (lower your head)
Silly goose
Like a sitting duck
Waddle like a duck
Lucky duck!
A quack (bad doctor)
Get your ducks in a row
Goosed (pecked in the rear)
Don't get your feathers ruffled (any bird)
Let it roll like water on a duck's back
The goose that laid the golden egg
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a duck
Like a duck out of water
Like a duck takes to water
Loose as a goose
Wild goose chase
His goose was cooked  
Bottoms up!
Just Ducky
Take a gander--to have a look at something

All the Goslings and Ducklings are growing up so fast around here!! We have been very lucky, the total number has not reduced all that much!  They are all what we call 'teenagers' it comes so fast....they'll be out on their own having their own babies before you know it!! :)



Teenagers....the middle one looks like he has on galoshes!!




Growing up....so ugly he's cute



imitating mom! Almost as big as a duck! All 3 teenagers and Mom and Dad spent so much time eating the grass in our front yard....we won't have to cut the grass this week!!

Mom(or Dad?) is eating.....and watching!

Mom and baby ducks...they're teenagers too! All born about the same time, just before Mother's Day!!

Bath Time!!

The replanted princess lilies seem to be doing okay!!

The other lilies are starting to bloom in all the gardens!

Look at the size of this bloom!! It's a small tree but will have as many as 15-20 of these blooms on it...it's so pretty....reminds me of Sanibel Island!!

The premature Glad is about done!!

I thought I would take a couple of videos of the Ducks and Geese to share with you...it's almost like being here!!

::Hugs::

(Sorry about the look this time....Blogger is having issues!)

Spring has Sprung!

Shopping

"No....Sweetie...too many weeds and no place to hide!!"

We had a couple of visitors today.....I would bet they are looking for just the right place to stay for a while! Last year they picked the front bed, but I took out the plants that they could hide behind....so alas, they will move on to somewhere else!!

Spring is beginning to pop out all over....all the ducks and geese are storing up food for upcoming events!! :)


The Finches can't get enough of our new feeder.....unfortunately a squirrel took care of one of the socks!!  I couldn't get a great picture because it's through the window and had to zoom!!  But there are 6 on there!!

I hope this will remind you all to look around you and enjoy each day to it's fullest!!
