Fine Feathered Friends

These two beauties have been hanging around the dock keeping me company all week.  This morning, there are six of them.  I enjoy watching them float on the water, diving under for food, or I like to think - just to moon me.

I hear that Haylee's facebook page has hundreds of wishes and expressions of sorrow now that she is gone.  These last few days have been hard, and harder still without my being able to read them.  I know that I will have plenty of time to do that when lent ends and all of my family and friends try to go back to their normal lives.  I will be adjusting to my new normal - life without my Haylee.
