Today at sundown hunting season
will officially be over, the ducks
and I are very happy. I'm so
happy I'm almost doing the
"happy dance". I don't know
what the ducks are doing, oh
yes I do...they're running,
well I guess not running...but
they're definitely hiding. It's
not that I don't like hunters..
hunt all you want, I just don't
want to watch. I don't like to
hear your guns at the (barely)
crack of dawn.
The first photo here is the field I see
when I look out my front window,
I'm looking east. This was a corn
field, ducks love corn fields...I love
ducks. I love it when they fly over
me when I'm working outside in
the fall, quacking away. I love to watch
them when they fly in formation....
that is just so dang cool....oh wait...
it's geese that fly in formaiton.
I like geese a lot too. Just so ya know.
I love looking at these mountains in
the distance almost as much as I like
the aforementioned birds...maybe more.
The next photo here is "out back". This
would be looking to the west. This is our
field, the renter planted it in corn...ducks
love corn fields...did I happen to mention
how much I love ducks? They have the
most beautiful coloring, well...the boys do,
the girls are kind of plain...but it's a pretty
kind of plain. That is our old hay wagon in
the picture. I thought it would make the
photo of the corn field look so much cooler,
it does...doncha think? It gives it some
interest, some perspective...so much better
than just looking at a muddy snowy corn
field.
This last photo is of a duck hiding in my
front yard at the edge of the stream ...okay,
most folks call it a ditch...but it has some
really big fish in it to be called a lowly ditch.
Hide Mr. Duck! It's only a few
more hours until sundown!

What a beautiful view you have out your front window! I have a view of my neighbor's house. Yippee. Oh and his boat parked on the street. Even better. :-)
Say "hi" to the ducks for me.
GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAT! Blog. I'll be visiting often.
Your old childhood gal pal, Marlae
Yay for the ducks and for you. My brother goes duck hunting, but he is really bad. He won't get up early, doesn't like the cold, and doesn't particularly want to kill a duck. I don't know why he goes! :)
Love the pics. Bet it is beautiful (even more so) in the spring/summer w/ some actual corn...

Hey Big Heap,
Thanks for the recipe. I was going to make Pioneer Womans Quesadillas this week, but now I'm going to make your Fajitas instead...and I'm gonna make 'em with duck...yesireee I am. Know why? Cuz you were nice enough to send me the recipe in my comment column and as much as I love love love Pioneer Woman....I think she is just too plain busy and popular to ever leave me a comment. I still really like her and will read every single thing she posts, cuz she's stinkin' good at this blog stuff.
S~
Yeah!
We hear the duck hunters also.
Eddie does not like the gun shots....he hides in the kitchen and shakes.
I will tell Ed that it is all over now.
We found a duck in a ice storm one time. He was out of it so we warmed him up in the kitchen sink and fed him oatmeal. The kids still talk about that.
We named him dilbert.
M - Thanks for the visit! And the kind words. Loved your photos.
J - I like the way your brother hunts. :D
H - Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely try it.
J - Poor Eddie!
