October arrives quietly

Sunday, Syau was stretched long and sleeping deeply when Tango took advantage of her sound slumber to use her leg as a pillow. Syau never knew.

My friend Gina and I were sitting on the back porch when we heard a racket in the lake. The ducklings! They were playing tag in the water — having one hell of a good time. We put out corn for them. Nine came to shore first; the other three came a little later. They didn’t stay long; I’m sure because of their fear of Lydia.

But, Lydia was nearby and didn’t bother them. Three days ago, she came ashore with a large twig and Spanish moss dragging behind a rear leg. It appeared to be attached by a fishing line. She wouldn’t let me near. I found her on the shore Monday with that twig and line tangled up in bushes. She couldn’t move. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the line free from her leg and had to return to the house for scissors. When I returned, she panicked and pulled her baggage loose from the bush. She frantically ran around with me in pursuit. If she were to get tangled somewhere else, she might just die in that spot. Exhausted, she slowed down and I was able to cut the line. And, as soon as she recovered, she started harassing the ducklings again!

These primrose willows are prolific this time of year. A large bush of them is on our lakeshore.
