A Quiet Spot
He paddled into his quiet enclave, looking forward to getting some shut-eye.
Psst! Hey you! Over there in the reeds!
What? Who said that?
Over here, look to your left towards the shore!
I see you. What do you want?
Wanna join us? It’s great here.
Looks kinda crowded to me.
Nah… there’s room. My buddy here will scootch up. Whaddaya say? Must be lonely over there all by yourself.
It’s nice and quiet.
It would be quiet here, too, Daisy, if you’d just shut up and leave him alone!
Fine. I’ll shut up, then.
A Dalectable Life 
It can be hard to find a quite place. Especially with Daisy around. Great duck photos.

Q
Daisy Duck makes an appearance, ladies and gentleman! Of COURSE you knew where you were going with this. You could have your own weekly challenge, yanno? I hear tell you’re mighty good at these challenges, and unlike too many Muricans, I don’t get my news from fake (or Fox, same difference) sources. 😉
And really, I totally relate to wanting that little bit of quiet time. It’s mostly the makeup of my MO, though, so there is that.
Shout out to the Mistress of Challenges. Get ducky!

Yes, my peeps, she does! And no, I don’t always immmeeedjately know where I’m gonna go with these. I dunno ’bout that. I’m too lazy to. You hear tell, eh? I like to think I hold my own 😉
I have to tell you, I, too can relate to it. It has become part of my makeup that I didn’t know I had until the past 5-6 years.
Why thank you!!

You may not know where you’re immeejiately going with them, but you always know what you gonna do with em when you get there. So one way or another, it’s home run time.
It’s one of those things where I don’t judge people who say “I miss being around people” because it’s by and large the way most normal peeps are. I’m a little less than normal and I admit as much. I like to know all kinds inhabit the earth, and we should all be okay with that. We gotta get back to being okay with it, in my humble opinion.
No, thank U

Well.. I kinda formulate a plan as I start going through my own matchy-matchy pics 😉 Something triggers something and then something gets written and then someone tells me it’s a home run!
No. No good comes from judging others, I say. Even you must yearn, once in a blue moon for some kind of human contact, even if only briefly 😉 Just like I am quite all right with being alone – something I never could do before. Like at all.
Sweet!

Your formulating is worth celebrating.
Is matchy anything like witchy? And do sparks fly from your fingertips during the decision making process? Just wondering . . . .
Not ever. And we live in the age of judgements on the fly. Self serving service that serves no damn good.
The feeling, yes of course. And yes, I think we learn ourselves new and different realities all the time.

A few times at the river, I’ve seen one duck amidst the geese. One time the geese were all honking, and he kind of looked around and then quacked. I really wondered if he was or trying to be part of the flock.
