April 27, 2012. Jackson, Mississippi. The Condo.

The place is bursting with life.  A pair of Canada Geese have six goslings and guard them very carefully.   They hang out right in front of our place and work hard to keep everyone away from the babies, which are very cute.  They are still yellow and fluffy.  And we have two pair of Mallards raising three ducklings each.   The babies are gray and also sweet.  They climb in and out of the water together.   The whole thing is comical and fun.

Today, Dave and Irene came for lunch to our condominium, the first time they have seen the place.  They liked it.   We toured the condo,  which took all of three minutes as it is so small, then we walked around the grounds right along the shore.    It is a lovely short walk which was perfect on a warm day.  To a Canadian, 84 degrees is a hot day.

On a sad note, a female Mallard duck died in the bushes right in front of our patio.  I wonder if she will be there tomorrow?  I will look.  But the rest of the condominium grounds are bursting with life.  And the blossoms and bushes are lovely.  We are enjoying our little place.
