I believe I see a heart in those clouds, and the duck knows you are exactly where you are meant to be. Oh wait, there is a heart on his chest too. Sending love, Donna

I just can’t get over what a great spot you landed in…That was meant to be Brad!!!! Such a great place but I bet one has to deal with duck poop on the deck….Small price to pay I guess for their presence there. Fun! Enjoy your space 🙂 VK
