In nice ways.

My friends Julie and Rick have denied themselves the pleasure of venturing out on Forest Lake. In their pontoon boat. For two weeks, and counting. Because a duck has established a nest. On the boat. And they don’t dare disturb her. As she sits on 7 eggs. Any day now. The eggs will hatch. And the mother and her ducklings. Will go about the business. Of living the good life. In the water. And Julie and Rick will have their pontoon boat back again. Isn’t it wonderful that we accommodate each other? In nice ways. --Jim Broede
