on sunday, the swans appeared but they swam fast and it was hard to get a shot. on monday, however, i spotted them sailing past our dock on the way to amy and jim’s and i urged kevin to go down and feed them – i didn’t have time, because i was expecting a client at any minute.
when i opened the back door, the swans immediately turned around and headed back. clearly, they’re very happy to see people, not like geese, who are always afraid.
even though i wasn’t wearing boots i hurried down with my camera to take pictures of kevin feeding the very happy swans.
yeah, they ate right out of his hand.
the only problem is, he ran out of bread and had to feed them bird seed. they kept chomping down on his hand and i said JUST DO IT A LITTLE MORE! YOU’RE NOT BLEEDING, ARE YOU? he said no, not bleeding – they don’t have teeth, but they do have very strong jaws.
here, it looks like the swans is saying “BIRD FOOD? NO MORE BREAD, YOU CHEAP BASTARD??!!!”
here’s some action footage of kevin feeding them.
today, the snow is gone and it’s supposed to be SIXTY, which is very exciting. we’re gonna take mollie for a walk pretty soon because it’s supposed to rain a lot later. i have to do quite a few things today but really, when will we see 60 degrees again?
yesterday i thought about the fact that today is the very last day for all our calendars. i love calendars; i make them for family and friends, plus we have other cool ones. i think we have eight or nine of them hanging around here. tomorrow, all-new calendars.
ok then,
mrs. last day of 2010 hughes.
