Living On The Creek

 I am staying in Pennsylvania with Offspring #1 and his family. They live in a brick house bordering a creek. Every morning I look out at the creek through the kitchen window. The creek flows from left to right. Lately there have been pentagrams of ice flowing to the right. Some of the ice shapes are a yard across. Others are smaller. By noon the ice has melted. Yesterday a group of a dozen buffle head ducks were splashing and throwing up water in the back yard. As they gradually moved to the right they were followed by a crowd of thirty Canadian geese. This morning an angler was out there fishing. Sometimes the angler was in the blue boat and sometimes the angler was wearing waders next to the blue boat. All evidence points to fish being in the creek in the back yard. Sometimes the flock of geese will leave the creek and park themselves in the large sloping lawn to rest and eat grass. Living on a creek is a real treat to those who like nature.
