He's one hot duck, at least she thinks so

He's gone from mourning the loss of his previous mate to showing his new one where all the good food is. We couldn't be happier! It took him 11 days to find her, it took me years to find my perfect mate. He must be some kind of gigalo or something.

Alone again, Unaturally


Here he is, all by himself, his mate was killed by a truck driver heading down our road chatting happily on his cell phone. We are hoping he will find another mate but so far, it doesn't look like he has. Maybe he's not even looking. We all know that these kinds of things happen but kind of like a favorite pet, we had become accustomed to their arrivals, he doesn't like crossing the road he preferred to take off from our snowbank but she always wanted to cross the road to explore the goodies in the ditch on the other side. We'll have to wait and see what happens next.

Tony Soprano has nothing on us


All of our birds are back, including, as you can see, some new ones who are an absolute delight.
Lynn has gotten better at identifying some of them (obviously the ducks didn't require any work)
but we also have some Red headed finches and Snowbirds.

Going, going, Gon
Edmonton cop takes down Ottawa suspect
By JON WILLING, SUN MEDIA


OTTAWA -- When Det. Tom Gon wrapped his beefy arm around a suspected thief's throat and dragged him to the floor of an Ottawa restaurant, it was all over.

"I'm a grappler," Gon, 53, explained yesterday. "As soon as I get a guy on the ground, he's mine."



Good on you Tom, keep up the good work! I hope you didn't have to pay for dinner :)

Another one of our favorites is gone, I might have to move my support to David Cook

Hopeful Signs




The Chimney for the patio fireplace is becoming more visible as is the wishing well, so we may well be on the way to spring..we can only hope. As you can see Jake is growing steadily and Odo always waits for me to take his picture to unfurl his tail...sheesh..good thing we don't try and show him :)
