Missed Connections in Lexington
as I saw what looked to be emeralds floating on the top of tall grass beside a creek.
It turned out to be three mallard ducks, out and about joy riding the recent rain swollen waters.
I decided to stop and watch as they climbed out single file, like kids climbing the bleachers placed in the middle of a gym for a chorus performance.
