And I'm exhausted! But I had an incredibly fun time in Virginia with Teem and Nancy, who are both just as fun and friendly in person as they are online, and it was great to finally meet Blurry as well (but he needs a cell phone!).
I will be doing a series of posts over the next few days documenting my trip (with photos!), but for now I will bring you ...
DUCK UPDATE!!
Homer is gone. It is sad, but it is probably for the best. The other seven ducklings are looking very good. They all came right over after I threw down some seed when I got back this afternoon:
That's too bad about Homer, but I'm just glad you did not have to witness it.

My mom said she saw Homer yesterday, underneath the tree, while the rest of the family was all the way across the pond. I guess the mother duck knew he wasn't going to make it, too.
I just hope the little guy didn't suffer too much.

At least you are back safe and sound!
