Little Binky, are you still in bed?
Hey Granny, where are you going?
You’re back already?
And you have a surprise for me…
I love surprises… Coming…
Granny, where is the surprise?
I can’t find anything…
come on, Granny, tell me what it is…
you made pictures…
with your handy 😦
while you were on the way to do some shopping..
There was a nest, but when the coot saw Granny,
she swam towards her to get some crumbs…
Here you see the nest with 4 eggs..
Granny, can you give me your glasses…
Mom Coot was very hungry…
and Dad Coot helped her eating…
Granny told her to get back to the nest…
because she didn’t stop eating…
and she did…
but then she returned to get some more crumbs…
Granny gave them some more crumbs
and then finally they were sated..
and mom Coot swam back to her nest..
rubbed herself up…
and rubbed herself up…
and rubbed herself up…
while Dad Coot kept an eye on her…
and Granny..
and after half an hour of cleaning…
she finally made a start…
to go…
and sit on her eggs again…
While Granny was giving the Coots some crumbs,
there were other Coots coming out of their hiding places,
They all were very hungry,
probably because of the long sit on their nest.
Usually they don’t come so near,
but now they’re starting to follow her
and she could almost pet them.
Maybe they remember that she was feeding them during wintertime…
I need some caressing too right now, Granny…
yes, yes…purr purr…
What you say, there’s more to come,
but I have to promiss that I won’t slobber..
Of course I do, I never slobber..
it’s not in my nature…
Here are the first little chicks,
with their mom and dad..
…and Coot the bodyguard..
Granny, the chicks are so… so…
tiny winy succulent cutie cute…
No.. honest, I don’t dribble…
I can’t stand it anymore…
…honest, there’s no water running out of my mouth…
but can you please open the door for me..
I want to surprise somebody take a walk now.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone 🙂

This what I call “almost a fable” . Wonderful story Angelswhisper. I loved it. v.
PS: near where I lived in California there was a park by the marshes.There was a man-made lake and squads of coots everywhere. So you brought me cherished memories.

Little Binky, never mind what Granny says, go ahead and drool (this is Chuckles) because I would drool and chase those, I mean, I would sit and watch all of the lovely little meals, I mean, coots too. the nerve of some people making false accusations…hummph! I got your back, LB. 🙂
Apr 22, 2013 @ 10:15:22
Hey Chuckles, maybe we can sit and drool together and never mind what the people say… 😉

Lovely story Granny and Binky. I especially like the full on picture of you Binky, you are so beautiful. We love baby duckies. Hope you get to go out again real soon.
Apr 22, 2013 @ 10:29:09
Thank you, Dogdaz. I stroll through the neighbourhood, but I haven’t seen any duckies yet. Maybe they’re hiding somewhere when they see me coming 🙂
Apr 20, 2013 @ 14:21:09

I wish I could come there. I would not bother the little coots (are they ducks?), but I would check for poop. That would be delicious! Maybe Granny can at least give you some of the crumbs, Little B…..?
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Apr 22, 2013 @ 11:02:06
Cupcake, original coots are marsh birds. They have the perfect feet to walk in the swamp. I can send you some Coot poop if you want 😉
Apr 19, 2013 @ 16:08:48

Awww how cute! Good thing your Granny was there to give them some delicious crumbs!
Apr 22, 2013 @ 11:05:50
Yeah, they were very happy with the crumbs.. and Granny too 🙂
Apr 19, 2013 @ 15:46:10
Thank you granny for feeding the coots. Poor little binky that has to be so hard to see those succulent little cuties and not drool.
Apr 23, 2013 @ 08:28:22
It is indeed, PL&W, but Granny will never know 😉
Apr 19, 2013 @ 12:17:55

Thank you Sonel. Pawkiss 🙂
Apr 19, 2013 @ 11:32:06
Oh BInky, that was rather mean of Granny, showing you those delicious looking little cuties. She was really lucky to have the coots come so close and to see the babies but, to put you through all that, well, it just isn’t good enough 🙂
Apr 23, 2013 @ 08:32:11
Don’t worry, Susan, I’ll find my own way to the
youngsterscoots 😉Apr 19, 2013 @ 11:26:26
Aww…granny should have taken you along bInky 😉
I must say, it is really nice on granny part to feed those poor coots 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Apr 23, 2013 @ 08:34:11
Don’t worry Dushtu, I find my own way to the
succulent youngsterscoots 😀
