We saw Edward today. He was very close. We fed him some oats. He’s such a beautiful duck.

Sitting on the Bench today, I’ve been thinking about life and thinking about how it’s a constant series of challenges. It’s one thing after another. Everything is speeding up and sometimes I feel like I’m kind of waiting for it to change or slow down. And you know what, I don’t think it’s going to. […]

I’m on Blue Wren Bench. It’s a beautiful sunny day. Today’s a bit of a landmark day for me because I’ve decided to put my name, a photo and a bio on this blog. I’ve always been really quite a shy person. I like to keep a low profile on social media in general. I […]

My son brought me these two leaves. He said he liked the colors. And now he’s going to race them down the river and see which one wins.

It’s a tough day on the Bench today. I feel so negative. I feel so hopeless. I feel so angry. I wish my body was healthy. I’m sick and tired of it not being. I couldn’t decide what to take a picture of. I thought about taking a picture of one of these shrubs that […]

It’s a beautiful afternoon with the ducks gliding by on the river. The river is up again. It’s quite full. It’s not around the legs of Private Bench yet though. I love it when it’s up.

Edward just cruised past up the river. He came quite close again. He hasn’t been coming as close in the last few months. In fact, he’d been kind of swimming away. Today he didn’t seem to mind me being close. He just kept on going on his way.

There was three red rumped parrots down at the water’s edge when I arrived today. They flew up into the tree and then flew down to land on the other bank. I wish that something as small as a phone could take photos is close up as a telephoto lens so I could get pictures […]

Edward just cruised past the Bench. He kind of stopped in and came closer which is nice.

Today, there was a very stately Magpie strutting around the Bench when I arrived. They’re such striking black and white birds. It’s cold today, grey and windy. I’m hoping it doesn’t rain on us while we play tennis. I’m sitting here waiting for my son.
