    They have a gazebo, thank you. All our plants are in pots. Trees grow if they find ground water but near ones house that tends to be water pipes so not good.. The 'cold weather' is a drop to around 80f. And it rains around once every two years.. So trees not great. Lol

    Her legs are very far apart compared to other duck. She sits down after walking a short distance only. It seems a struggle. When she sits one leg splays out to side. In pool she likes to stand on one leg and work one leg out to the side, like a ballerina at the barre.
