Yes, I’m a bit behind in my posting, due to a fabulous vacation to the northwest corner of the world (at least my world). We went to visit older daughter, Kendall, and her fiance Evan, in the country north of Bellingham, WA. She did a great vacation post at www.lonelilly.com . 

And so there are three ducks in the backyard now.  As sad as I was to see my others go, I have to admit that the peace and quiet that we experience now is pretty awesome.  I call them the Hoover Girls……

They came by that group name because that is their purpose in life, to hoover over the yard, usually in team form, and eat bugs.  I may have to name them now that I know them better.  Sometimes I actually go out in the yard and holler, HOOVERS!  Once again, I hope my neighbors aren’t watching.

I am fascinated by how much these girls preen.  They love the pool and then spend hours just fixing feathers.  Reminds me of teenage girls in the bathroom! 

You get the idea!!
