The church close to my home has a big pond and the Canadian geese raise their chicks close to the pond. They do make a mess on the walking track, and you have to be careful when the eggs hatch because if you even look at the chicks the mom and dad are coming after you.

Lots of new life in your part of the world. Me Duck is a very popular term of polite affection in English up North. Mostly north east Midlands maybe Lincolnshire and Hull and part of Yorkshire. That's mostly where you hear it. It's nice. You buy a bar of chocolate in a shop,where a person still takes your money,and as they hand you your change (what's that ?) they say,"here y'are me duck". It's friendly and lovely. You dont get that from a card scanner!

Love it! If you tried that in Detroit you might regret it!🤣. I was thinking maybe Marsha and Neil. You know, like, “May I present Mallard Marsha Mason and her faithful companion “Neil Simon Spouse.”
