3. I lived on a lake with swans.

We were the closest house to an area of the lake that did not freeze over in the winter, and the swans and other birds would come there to drink, so the neighborhood association asked if we would bring grain to that spot to feed them until the spring thaw. They would come running every day when they saw me coming down with buckets of grain, and we got to know each other quite well. In the spring, I went out on our dock, and sat down in the sun shine. Within moments, mama and daddy swan came paddling over with their babies, obviously anxious to show them off to me. I cried tears of joy because it had been an especially brutal Michigan winter that year, and all the swans survived.

4. Very touching.

I do think the person who captioned this could have chosen other wording besides "Their joy is infectious" and "dying to be reunited with her mate", seeing as the poor thing nearly died from an infectious disease.

(I must have been an English teacher or a literary critic in a previous life.)

10. I live in a patch of PA woodland.

A couple hundred acres. It is not all mine. You get to know the critters and it is a joy.
It got warm the other day and in the evening the tree frogs were peeping. We have a snapper who lays eggs in our garden every year. If it is a hot day when they hatch I take them to the creek. The hawks and crows are fighting again. Everyday there is something to see. I have a large population of reptiles. Which I think indicates a healthy ecosystem.

11. A beautiful love story. 🦢
