This week started off well. Monday, Sylvia had the cast removed from her left arm. It was two months to the day since she broke her wrist. X-rays show that the fracture is healing. Thursday will be the first therapy session for her.
The last few days have been very busy days for us. There has been much to do. I’ve not had time to attend to this blog. Fortunately, I have put the camera to work and here are a couple of items from its memory card.
The grass is not only greener, it tastes better
I saw the doe cross the driveway and walked over to the neighbor’s fence. I raised the blinds and reached for the camera. The deer had crossed the fence. She ate some grass and then came back and disappeared into the willow brush and tall grass down by the road.
On Sunday afternoon, I saw an unusual sight. It was out on the lawn.
A duck surveys the possibilities
We’ve had a lot of rain lately, but a duck? They usually consider this “flyover” country. Maybe she was tired and that’s why she stayed for a while.
Enough is enough
As I watched her fly away, I thought of how Sylvia was going to feel when the cast came off. She is enjoying the freedom.
Nice that she stopped in for a visit (Ms.Duck)
It wasn’t as awesome as your stories from the Buckeye Trail, but we enjoyed her visit. 🙂
Great news about Sylvia’s arm!
We don’t have much wildlife where we live, but I did see two rabbits running across the yard on Monday. I had to wonder what they were eating and how many plants there would be in the pots when they were finished. Ducks are not spotted often on the ponds around town, but geese abound.
Lots of rabbits around here too. One hundred yards west of the duck (other side of our secondary road) there is plenty of water. It’s not deep but it does attract a lot of Canada geese. From time to time we see a duck or two. Sandhill cranes and blue herons are common.
