Lazy Sundays

I absolutely love lazy Sundays and yesterday was one of them. The sun was shining, there were few clouds in the sky, it was very warm and just very, very lazy. Most of the day was spent lounging outside - D fixed the rear passenger window: it was stuck and wouldn't roll either way, so he ripped apart the door, fixed it, and put it back together again. Meanwhile, my brother washed and waxed his car, and fixed his car door handle.

Oh! And we sort of have a new addition to our family...ducks! There are a few of them that live on the oval across the road, and one day they wandered over our way so we began feeding them sopping wet bread. Because of this, they now visit us every day, and we're happy to learn the momma duck is pregnant! This means of course, that since we've been feeding them so consistently, they will bring over their little ducklings when they're hatched and are able to walk!

So yesterday I spent the day watching my duckies who spent a good chunk of time in our front yard, and I can get very close to them now - an arm length away - and also set down a shallow tray of water for them. The daddy duck (who we've named Mavrick, Mommy we've called Polly) then tried swimming in it. =\ We then decided we shall have to go out and buy a small rubber baby pool and fill it up so they have something to swim in when they come around during the Spring and Summer months. It's VERY exciting!!

To top off an already perfectly lazy day yesterday, we pulled out the old BBQ, cleaned it down and fired it up last night. Dinner was spent outside, even though it was a little nippier by then, eating, laughing and star gazing. It was just such a perfect end to a really wonderfully lazy day.
