Such is life

Yesterday was one of those perfect fall days that you just want to bottle up and save for a dreary January. Not a single cloud in the sky, not too cool, not too warm and perfect for feeding the neighborhood ducks. So, when I got home from work A and I walked over to the neighborhood pond to get rid of some stale bread as well as suck up this perfect weather.

I took some pictures of a mama duck and her 12 baby ducks….

Took some pictures of the changing leaves…

Took some pictures of A…

And then I tried to take some pictures of A and me. My myself. With a big camera. Not an easy task, but luckily another mom appeared just in time and offered to take our picture. She and I started chatting and we really hit it off. *****

She was a young, fun mom – check!
And she has a little girl - check!
And she likes to feed the ducks – check!
And she is moving to Denver on Thursday – fail!

Such if life that on top of a pretty crappy Monday I would meet another fun mom that lives in my ‘hood only to find out that she is moving… this week.

Now, if I find out that my other new mom friend is moving away this week, I might never again venture out to the mall or pond.


*** I think that meeting other moms is like dating. Do they like me? Will they call me? Should I email them? How long should I wait to call or email? What should I wear? Ahhhhhh……..
