A Deposit in the Relationship Bank

Last evening I made enchiladas.

Warren and I had none.

The kids love these...filled with

sour cream, chicken, cheese and I sneak

in some re-fried beans. The protein is

good for them!

Warren does not love these.

We had a coupon for a buy one get one free

at Willow Valley Smorgasbord.

After a very satisfying but not stuffing dinner

we took a walk. Around the pond in the back.

Normally if I am here I am lugging heavy

bins of candles and setting up a display.

Working hard and loving it.

Last evening, though, as the sun was setting

the sky was changing moment by moment.

The air was definitely cool.

Only a few others were willing to

defy the cold for the beauty.

This is a site that many local young

people use for taking pictures before

Proms or weddings.

This bridge is very popular.

And then there are the willow trees.

Perfect at Willow Valley, don't you think?

When I am here selling candles I am normally

in the shade of this tree.

The temperature dropped further as the sun

set....putting the steeple of the chapel in

sweet profile.

Warren critiqued my technique with the camera as

I was taking photos of the ducks. I would have been

upset with him....except he was close behind me, looking

over my shoulder and that worked for me.

Yep! I took some very bad pictures so that we would

have to work on the technique just a bit more!

LOL

Finally all of the ducks headed back to their

nesting spots on the little island.

We took their lead and headed home to our nest.
If anyone is counting..this is the second time I have
compared our relationship to that of  ducks.
The first one is here.
Hmmmm.....maybe I need to rethink that.

Our "ducklings" had helped their Grandma Ruth spread

a ton of mulch and had been richly rewarded with

a trip to the ice cream stand. So all were happy.

It was a sweet evening, indeed.
