What the heck winter? You were holding it together for so long, so well. I guess this may have something to do with Friday the 13th. Oh well, the beautiful outdoor (running friendly) weather couldn't last forever I suppose. Afterall, this is Toronto and it wouldn't be Toronto without the roads turning into a huge slushfest.
So I decided to make the most of this winter wonderland today and took myself for a walk. And what do you know I viewed some adorable animals on this walk. My house is quite close to a duck nesting area, and these duck friends decided to stick around this winter. I stood watching my duck pals for awhile because 1) I thoroughly enjoy standing upon small bridges and 2) there were duck pals to watch.
There were ever so many of them all floating and bobbing about ever so cutely. Just making their little quacking noises. Then amidst the fleet of duck friends I saw the most special of duck friends. It was an ay duck friend. If I were a duck, that is the duck I would have been. If that duck were a human it would have been me.
I'm can't really explain it, but this duck seemed to possess many of the same characteristics that I do! Then out of nowhere this other duck (a male) came along and bullied my duck twin. He just snapped his beak at her and chomped down on her back and she had to swim away double plus fast. Then he didn't even graze upon the same tendrils she was grazing on. I was mad at him. But I couldn't do anything because I didn't want to scare any of the other peaceful duck pals and I especially didn't want to scare my duck twin.
So then I decided to go home and play with my chien in the back yard. She was being fairly lame today, but a little better than normal because dogs love snow. I wish I had a dog. Or a duck, like Joey and Chandler in Friends.
