we had a couple of warmer days and enough snow melted around the pond that the ducks weren't the least bit interested in me or the food I brought them today, they were too busy grubbing around

ADSR4 challenge 12 @ WST
wow, this was the last leg of the race, and my favorite too! It's the pages we work on together that are always the most fun (having a partner with an English Degree helps when journaling is a requirement too)
