On a complete whim today, mom & dad stopped by the pond near the hospital up the road from our apartment. The rain we've had for a week straight now is still hanging around, so we were brave to venture out of our car... but it paid off, because the rain held off just long enough for us to walk once around the pond & feed the duckies a little.
Because it was such a last minute decision, we were not prepared with the appropriate duck munchies, so we had to improvise with a handful of the Kix cereal from my snack cup. It didn't seem to bother the duckies at all... they loved my Kix as much as I do!
There were lots of ducks & geese, and even a mommy duck with four little baby ducklings. I also found the turtles quite interesting... dad had to pull me away from the bridge... I'm not sure why he was in such a hurry?... I just wanted to talk to the turtles! I also got a close-up of a snail & rolypoly. I am not such a fan of touching little creatures like that... I like to look at them, but touching them is not really my thing.
If you make it to the end of the slide show, you'll see that I was NOT HAPPY about leaving the pond. After being stuck inside for so long - - I was enjoying the fresh air & was not quite ready to leave when mom & dad were. I let them know :o)
I certainly hope that mis amigos enjoyed Cinco de Mayo as much as I did this year... we had a fabulous dinner at a new Mexican restaurant downtown with fun friends. Gosh I love guacamole & rice... think they might be 2 of my favorite foods... muy muy muy bueno!

What a hodge-podge of a post this is! I don't have a lot of narrating to do, as there's not really a story to go with this stuff... but I'll give you a few explanations.
body parts on cue. It was not by best attempt, as I was getting tired, but you can see me identify most of them for the camera.
For the first time in several months... we've actually had a quiet couple of days around here.... things have slowed down just a little... & it's kinda nice.
annoyed by all of the above, as he tries to study & finish up his last few weeks of dental school. Needless to say - daddy has had to stay up at school a little extra lately... concentration levels are not so good at the Lewright pad right now :o).... hahaha!
