Little Sprout

You see that little green thing in the middle of the picture?! That is my first little sprout! I went out to water the plants this afternoon and noticed one of the seeds at the surface and went to push it back into the dirt when I looked a bit closer and realized it had a little green protruding from the side! This is the cucumber plant. 

 In my excitement to document my first sprout I didn't realize some visitors had approached. I was excited to see them both as the other day I had seen a male duck in the road just on the other side of the pond.

 They hung out while I went inside and got them bread. They even got brave enough (or were hungry enough) to venture onto our porch.

 "Got any more food?"
