Cullman, AL
He's Back!
Five years ago Baby Duck was one of the first three ducks that we bought. (Don't ask about the other two)
When we travel, we ask Gary a neighbor to stop over and put out feed for our ducks. A year ago Baby Duck followed Gary home. Baby Duck is a Pekin. Pekin don't fly. Gary couldn't get this duck to walk back to the house with him. He was impossible to catch. Our other ducks were getting to be pests at Garys as they were spending more time there than here. Every time we drove by Garys I would look over to check that he was still there.
A few days ago Gary came to the door. There in a live trap was Baby Duck. I was so excited to have him back. Now the other ducks are staying here too. What amazes me is how Baby Duck remembers the feeding routine after a year away and demands feeding.
A few weeks ago I met up with two FB friends in town. This is a group of women who enjoy RVing. Wendy lives in Birmingham. Sarah lives in Huntsville. I live in Cullman. Cullman is halfway between Huntsville and Birmingham. How convenient for me.
The weather has improved enough that I had gotten some mowing done. And cleaning out flower beds. The RV picnic area has a lovely bed a pine needles. Occasionally our guests take advantage of the fire pit area that we provide. Our 328th guests pulled out this morning.
Len has been working on the goose neck trailer he bought. New paint job, new lights. new tires and just completed relacing the decking. He is a happy man. Special thanks to our friend Glen who helped him finish up the decking.
Our good friends Darlene and Jim stopped by for a night. They left their Fifth wheel RV in Florida and flew to Iowa and picked up a Heavy Duty Truck. They have their F450 for sale now as they start their new adventure.
This is Darlene and Jim; Darlene at the HDT and Smart car; and Biscuit saying goodbye.
There is so much construction going in the Cullman area. Housing, businesses, car washes, restaurants, medical buildings. Among the new construction are drive thru coffee outlets. We had never seen these facilities before our trip to Alaska in 2014. They are everywhere up there. Now here they come. These are some we saw in Alaska.
It's nice to see Baby Duck back home.
ReplyDeleteBe following Darlene and Jim for years. Wishing them luck on their new adventures.
The world all around us is changing, but it makes you wonder if it's for the better.
Like Len when I can, my choice is to keep busy.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Thanks Rick and Kathy
ReplyDeleteBig thanks to Len and Phyllis, for taking such good care of us, for our short but special visit.
