Today, while I was delivering mail. I happen to be on the phone with my sister. I have a section on my route that is one after another, after another of those CBU boxes (Silver boxes with a group of boxes for a neighborhood) Across the street from where I am, there is a a little stream that runs between the backyards of a group of town homes. There is usually a pair of ducks that swim back and forth in there. Today I wasn't really looking over there, but I saw out of the corner of my eye something coming across the road to me. It was a pair of ducks. Male and female. I told Julie, with gitty excitement. I continued filling the box, not thinking the ducks would come close. Well.... they did. They came right up to me. But I noticed there were a few more.... That's when I look up and see the HERD of ducks coming over to me. LOL! It was awesome! I took pictures....
First photo taken...
A moment later....
Waddling Horde is upon me!!!
I couldn't ask for a better surprise! I love ducks. There little quack, such a cute sound! I didn't have anything to feed them though. I will say that these particular ducks had no fear of cars so it took a bit longer to get on to the next box. From there, I do another set of CBU's, then I'm across the street from where this picture was taken. By the time I got there, the duck horde had moved back over to the stream. As I stand at that CBU box over there, I hear the quack sound again... growing louder. I turn around to see the same group swimming very quickly towards me. I'm sure they were hoping I had something this time, since I didn't the first. No luck. :(
Maybe I will get some crackers or something, just in case I'm swarmed upon again next week. I wouldn't mind that actually. It makes me want to own ducks again. I would have this kind though...
Called, Cayuga Ducks
SO CUTE!!!
Wow! Maybe they were hoping for some mail too!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was a good luck sign! That is fun. I love the book the Help too. Have you seen the movie yet? It is way good too, I would recommend it if you haven't seen it. You must be a super fast reader. It takes me about three months to finish one book. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI did see the movie for The Help. I think I'm a faster reader than I originally thought, but I think it's all because I have so much time to actually do it. I used to read and do it kicking and screaming. Now, I would much rather do that than watch TV. Lol!
