Paradox

There’s a pair of ducks who have taken up residence in my pond.  It’s not the first time and I’m guessing that the pond is a kind of highway motel on their way to whatever winter haven they travel.  But the weather has been so unnaturally warm off and on for the past few weeks, that I think they’re just waiting to see which way they should be heading.  If they follow the wing of geese that went over yesterday, they’ll head southwest.
