All Things Pleasant on the Lake

“Where are you going, my little one, little one? Where are you going, my baby, my own? Turn around and you’re two, Turn around and you’re four, Turn around and you’re a grown loon, with chicks of your own.”   Adapted from “Turn Around” by Malvina Reynolds

All about on the lake there are little ones, growing, growing so quickly. Mother Merganser has seven babies all full of energy as they zip along the shoreline. Mrs. Mallard and her three chicks look to be almost the same size. Mother Black Bear has scooped up fish for her two young cubs out on the raft. She is probably the only mother on the lake who does not have to worry about her little ones growing older! Loon chicks Ping and Pong are so adorable to remember during their first week. But turn around and you will find them to be four weeks old today! Turn around, turn around…and in the process, be sure to treasure each precious fleeting moment. Sending all the best, Kittie
