I got all my sisters with me (or maybe brothers.) This group of cuties and their mom weren’t too afraid of me as I sat by the side of the lake. They would bunch up, for all the world like a pre-game huddle, then waddle cutely to and fro a bit before huddling up again. Not sure what the pep talk was, but it kept them coming back for more.
Did you know that the Pointer Sisters didn’t do the original “We Are Family?” The Sledge Sisters, four sisters named…you guessed it… Sledge sang it and it became their hit song. This part is particularly appropriate:
Everyone can see we’re together
As we walk on by
(And!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
but you might enjoy the whole song to get your Tuesday off to a great start.
Gorgeous photo!
Thanks, Sheree. With those subjects, how could it not work out?
Indeed!
Cute and nice especially now.
Agree, Judy. Cute ducklings grow up to be still fairly cute ducks. Cute goslings morph into irritating poop machines. 😳

The animal babies of this world are so cute. Enjoyed the music of these sisters. I remember their version of this song very well. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning, Peggy. Glad you enjoyed both photo and music. Have a blessed day.
Ducks and ducklings are very obliging when it comes to photographs, Janet.
Very true. 🙂
Cute photo and great song. It’s one of my favorites.
These little guys/gals were so cute and they had little water droplets on their feathers. Made my heart hurt…in a good way. Happy Tuesday, Deborah.
🥰 Happy Tuesday to you too!
Ahh, I like that!!
I’m glad. 🙂
Fun photo with the perfect song. Tues is going to be a good one. Thanks.
I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday, Ally.
How cute. I have heard of Sister Sledge. Great song. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks and you enjoy your week as well, Janet.
That song will always bring back memories of the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates – theme song, all the way to the World Series.
Better than “Baby Shark?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just thought of you as I’m reading a book I think you’d enjoy: “A Place of My Own” by Michael Pollan. Carpentry and nature!!
I have seen that book. I’m not sure we have room for such a structure on our little plot, but you never know.
I thought you might enjoy reading the book. I got it as an e-book from the library. I think you’d appreciate all the building details.
I’m sure I will.
Adore this song! Sister Sledge was the first I heard it. till The Pointer Sisters are amazing, too!
Nice to hear this song again, thank you!
My pleasure. I think we all need to think about being family (in good ways) these days. Right now we’re like the most dysfunctional family on TV.
Sigh!
Wow. This post certainly dredged up a long forgotten memory. I saw Sister Sledge in concert shortly after I graduated from university and moved to Toronto.
It was one of few concerts I’ve ever been to (I have issues with crowds and loud noises). The concert was held in an elegant ballroom of the Royal York Hotel here in Toronto with an audience of only a few hundred people. I was there with a friend on a press pass. It was a spectacular show, we had great seats, and I’ve never felt so out of my element!! This was an elegant affair with a ‘mature’ crowd and I felt like such an unsophisticated country bumpkin!
I’ve loved this song ever since.
Glad I could bring back all those good memories, Joanne. 🥰
