Fortunately my feelings are not that fragile Andrea. I was just checking -no offense taken/no point being where you're not wanted/simplifies things to just get to the crux a matter- as it is often difficult to determine the inflection of one you only know from their written word.

Sadly, no ducks this year. A bobcat dined very well, during two falls ago, I believe. I simply haven't had the time to install higher fence, so we decided not to torture ourselves. Hopefully next year. Thank you for remembering.

yours sincerely,
