Dark Clouds, Sunrise, Ducks Breakfast Club and Picnic Table

 Early morning walk in the darkness.

There was lightening in that cloud.

 A very hungry north Duck always meets me.

 South side ducks, there are 6.

Duck Breakfast Club

 Still eating on the north side. Seven ducks total this morning.

 Clouds are beautiful.

 We love walking through nature in the morning with the bird singing. . .

The Little Boy and Old Man

Said the little boy, Sometimes I drop my spoon.

Said the little old man, I do too.

The little boy whispered, I wet my pants.

I do too, laughed the old man.

Said the little boy, I often cry.

The old man nodded, So do I.

But worst of all, said the boy, 

it seems Grown-ups don’t pay attention to me.

And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.

I know what you mean, said the little old man. ~ Shel Silverstein

 Did we get rained on, just a bit.

 Not enough to turn around and go back.
