There’s not much to tell: Hazel and Dolores remain in the pond, and are still BFFs, always swimming, eating, and sleeping together. I’m glad they’re friends.
Yesterday, however (the video below was taken the day before yesterday), the ducks were skittish, staying on the shore and not going into the water. I did feed them a bit on land, but I think they were temporarily traumatized. My theory—which is mine—is that somebody scared them in the pond. (Someone went in the day before to clear out the water lettuce, an unrooted annual plant, all of them eventually floating to the drain. Their introduction was unwise.)
At any rate, here they are from two days ago, in two photos and a video:
Together forever and never to partTogether forever we twoAnd don’t you knowI would move heaven and earthTo be together forever with you.


Two friends having a nice summer vacation together.
😃….😆 I got Rickrolled!
Indeed you did!
Nitpicking, I know–but ‘Together Forever” is not “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
Oh yeah!… there’s a different phrasing of the line!…
dooo.. doooooo…
dooo…. dooooo but then it doesn’t go bee da bee da…
… The time between clicking the link – suggesting a profound poem – to Rick and shutting the program off is the same though. So, the Rickroll stands.
😆
These are two completely different songs by Rick Astley.
I hope they don’t get scared off. Being friends, whatever happens they’re going to do it together.
Sweet! 🦆🦆
I have just under a month remaining before first-year enrollment at UChicago. There will be much duckgazing!
…No fits no fights no feuds and no egos,
Amigos
Together.
Through thick and through thin,
All out or all in,
And whether it’s win, place, or show —
With you for me and me for you
We’ll muddle through
Whatever we do
Together wherever we go!
