Forward Motion

I finally managed to get up early enough to go for a walk this morning before I had to get ready for work. It wasn't a very long walk, but I'm inordinately proud of myself nonetheless. There are a lot of birds in the neighborhood and they were up and chatting. Loudly. I cut through on the path through the open space behind my house. There is a pond back there with quite a few ducks, who madly raced from one side to the other too get away from me as I walked around it, muttering. (The ducks, not me). There was also a heron.
Funny aside: last summer a house which backs up to the other side of the open space was for sale. The real estate sign said Lakefront Property. Seriously, it's a POND. Kids fish there and catch little sunfish, ducks swim on it and muskrats swim in it. It's a pond. I can only imagine some prospective buyer not familiar with the area getting all excited until they got into the back yard.
