This morning I went to
Dad's grave at the cemetery. They have a temporary marker there and I felt bad that the flowers he had for the funeral were already wilted. I didn't bring any flowers for the temporary vase there but I'm sure someone will soon.
I told Dad that I loved him and that I was going to feed the ducks at the pond that's in the cemetery.
Before I had come by the cemetery, I went to the store and grabbed a loaf of bread to feed the ducks with. I had some old hamburger rolls as well.
So I drive up and see this:
I'm thinking, "Okay, are there ducks out there?"
"Maybe this won't be so bad."
"Hey look, Canadian geese!"
So they started to come closer to feed...
And seagulls showed up...
And before I realized it, I had Noah's Ark out here. I really didn't bring enough bread for them all, but I did what I could.
This guy was my buddy, who came up and asked for bread politely. I have him a few slices.
One duck had an afro.
I always liked the feather colors of these guys.
And this was a nice duck that came up and watched as I was throwing bread around. I gave him a slice.
So moral of this story...don't bring one loaf of bread...bring
three!

It's a nice place near where
Never liked getting stared at by the people who mow the lawns and ride around in John Deere vehicles, though, but I always loved feeding the birds there. So now I have a good reason to go more often to feed them - if anyone asks, I'll say that I was there visiting my Dad.
I'll make sure to take my camera whenever I go so I can get more pics of them.
What a pretty cemetery! Not
Also, your seagulls are so interesting looking. You make ours look so plain!
That Afro-duck is adorable.
And yes, that's a really nice cemetery.
Yeah I guess I take that for
It looks like they were hanging out in the shade in the first few pictures. I don't blame them - it's been getting to 95-100 degrees F here.
