The ducks are back!

I was sitting in my living room yesterday checking out the view of the river which for the past few months has been pretty boring.  There's no activity out there, just snow.  With the milder weather the ice has started to melt and break down on the river and the ducks have returned.  They aren't too close to our property yet but I can see them swimming around out in the middle of the river.  It was my sign that spring is just around the corner which was so exciting!
