photoI love God with all my heart. That is what Sagittarius is about. That and travel. But church is not working for me. As christianity and astrology and reincarnation dont really go together. And then I became a Vegetarian who meditates! I would get burnt on the stake for what I believe and then churches ask me to leave... I have discovered some cool stuff relating to God - An ancient path. Would love to talk

We live in an estate next to the Grand Union Canal. In our garden my partner placed various flowerboxes and plants flowers and shrubs in them.

Last year a Mallard duck nested in the one flowerbox. She hatched 7 ducklings. There is no way for her and her offspring to get to the canal so I captured them overnight to keep them from the cats in the area, and released them all the next morning.

This year she is back with a vengeance! We did not even notice. It seems they lay their eggs one a day for a few days and then flies off everyday. Once all the eggs are laid she starts hatching. This year she laid 11 eggs over a period of 11 days!

Once a day around 1730 she covers the nest with fluff and flies off to feed and bathe. Then she returns and carries on hatching.

I thought she is seriously abusing our hospitality!!

B-)

And not even a quack of gratitude! I think I should write a letter!

Awww, maybe she knows that she's got babysitters on tap!
