HOW TIME FLIES.

Two years ago I told myself I would keep this up to date.  At that time my family left on an extended adventure in Europe and it was to be my way of keeping in touch.  Clearly, that didn't happen.

Now I sit down to write and wonder - where have those two years gone,  along with the rest of the years that I've accumulated in my past and the stories that have been created, lost, remembered, added to the ongoing collection of daily events.

Today it was a walk down the lush greenness of my driveway as I headed out to the road for a 30 minute walk in the sunshine.  The birds were twittering their warning, "someone's coming, someone's coming", to their mates or offspring, or warning against the predatory eagles which pass overhead on a
regular basis.

The pond is empty at the moment, although shaded by overhanging alder trees, thereby protecting any wildlife residing therein, no creature has deigned to take up residence.  I have had an offer of some goldfish, which would be an interesting experiment - seeing if they could survive on their own without me having to feed them.  I also have a friend with an overabundance of ducklings. We've discussed the possibility of putting some of them in the pond to see how they do on their own.  I think they are a few weeks old so may have to wait a little while.
