Mr. and Mrs. Duck have come calling. They've been out in, or by,
the pond, at least, four times that I've seen them.
They don't seem very impressed by the labradors. Yesterday
the yellow lab ambled over to the pond, grazed on some grass
and never noticed the ducks. Tonight the ducks napped while
the dogs were on the deck crunching up their kibble.I'm not sure
where this is leading but they're kind of fun to have around.

If they are anything like the ducks that stroll around the complex of
canals in Florida, for god's sake don't feed them and shoo them away.
They leave a trail of filth and intimated small animals, sometimes even
humans, so that an evening walk was an ordeal. Hated them! Two now
will attract many more later. They will soon be eating your dogs' kibble.
