speaking of ducks

And weren’t we? It’s raining today, yet good duck keeper that I am, I trekked down there in the rain. (Our house backs up to a lake.) They weren’t there! Wherever they’d taken cover, they didn’t want to come out, even for food. That’s what you call fowl-weather friends. :hehe:

So having my day’s pages done and nothing else to do, I hiked over to the creek, too. This is the log across the creek that Buttercup clung on to when he was being attacked by the dogs. It had been raining for days at that time and the creek was nearly up to the log then. It’s down to normal levels now.

just so you know

My daughter is collecting presents to send the soldiers. She’s VERY excited about it. She has a job! She’s going to help the soldiers!

Where are they? Canada.

Who are we fighting in Canada? The British.

It’s a good thing she’s not in charge of actually mailing the boxes. But if you’re in Canada and you receive a box of beef jerky, People magazines, and Chapstick, you know who they’re from.

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
