Our Ducks

Well they are not our ducks, to own...but they do come back year after year. Every spring they visit our pool, and just swim around. It really is fun to watch them, and the boys love it. Seeing these ducks really brings back memories of my childhood. When I was growing up, there were always 3 ducks that came every spring, two males and one female. Melissa and I would watch them from time to time, and it usually ended up we watched them while they were mating. Let me just tell you it was not a pretty sight. My mom always joked that we were getting our sex education, from those ducks. But seriously, Melissa and I are lucky that we have the normal lives we do now...it was rather disturbing. The males would drown the poor girl under the water while they were doing their duty, or slide her around on the grass or cement...ick, the photos are ingrained in my mind forever. After that we gave the female duck the official title "The Slut Duck". It was really too much!!! I guess the poor girl has settled down now, she only returns every spring with one male companion, and the scenery around here has settled down to a nice rated G, rather than X :)
