“The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor's shortcomings as he is of his own.”~
Eric Hoffer (American Writer - 1902-1983)
Do you think they are making some headway? I think I smell bread baking.

I like your happy 1st poem and this..this is so nice..just love it- I have a menagerie but I used to have way more which consisted of both families of ducks & geese!
Léia, thank you, please share this with anyone you want.
Regina Marie, I'm so happy you enjoyed them. I would love a menagerie and will one day.
Soon they will be all sitting down to dinner together
A lovely way to post an important message.
Nicely done. Love the quote and how you incorporated it in you picture. Smiles to you B
This is a funny and yet so wonderful post. I love the first photo with the captions on it. :)And is so true that we have to be in tune with ourselves first.
BTW, the little boy piss has a lot of stories that go with it, and I've also heard the version you have.
I am going to use that Hoffer quote at school. I loved, and needed, this post. Thanks.
Hmm... Well the swan hasn't ripped the duck's head off yet, that's a start. They're beastly strong!
Let us know how it works out won't you?
Well, they seem to get acquainted:), but they're still on their guard...it seems.
If the duck and swan can get along to bake bread, don't you think we (people) can get along with each other?
What a great post! :-)
Cactus Jack Splash, that is my hope :)
Diane, thank you.
Barbara, thank you too.
Pacey, thank you for letting me know.
Sandy, I am so glad you are going to be sharing it with your school.
Mojo, ouch ;) In my universe they are going to get along just fine.
Jeannette, yes it's still a tenuous relationship but the longest journey .....
George, I remain forever hopeful!
Wouldn't that be a fantastic place to be? One day!
2sweetnsaxy, thank you.
How cute and sooooo true !!
It's all so true, isn't it? It just takes that one little first step. I love how you illustrated this. Beautiful!
He he ... that is super cute! And it makes ya think, doesn't it?
Very funny post, Denise. It's so nice to have good neighbours. For humans, too.
Beautiful posts Denise. Happy Spring.
Nice ducks picture. I take pictures of them when I see them. A couple of years ago we saw a bunch of ducks and we were giving them bread. My husband asked if they would bite him. I said no, they won't. Then he handed one a piece of bread and it bit him. I made a video of it if you want to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXQD3Yfqz4
What a clever idea and I really like your poem. I think ducks are like some people they like to squabble, we do get along with our neighbors, they are great people. Have a nice day.
This is my first visit to your blog and am looking forward to following you. I just love the animals - the duck is so cute and so friendly.
This is a wonderfully creative post...
