flash flood watch

for this area

what with all the rain, what could we expect?
and our chances of forest fire?
not a snowballs chance in hell i would imagine
meanwhile
it's 6am
and very dark out
foggy too cause of the humidity
i want it to dry up a bit as i need to take delivery of our winter wood
and until it's stacked............. it will sit in the driveway, which is down hill
the entire property is downhill

oye

i found a box of teddy bears in the studio yesterday, gifts from bernie over the years
they are small ones, and all blond teddy bears, in all sorts of materials, one even being in corduroy!
i know i have some furniture for them as well
as they are part of our christmas decorations for the mantel

i did make a tiny bit of head way into the studio again
i am about to start moving more furniture
i need to get the mold storage out of the way or i am not going to get any further in the studio
right now
everything hinges on dealing with them

i got falstaff in the bath again yesterday, i chased him all over the place and finally cornered him and hosed him off enough so that he got the hint
and then STILL had to chase him up and down the hill until he got in the bath
he stayed about an hour
Lillianna is molting
there are FEATHERS all over the freeken place
enough to build two whole other ducks
!!!!!!!!!!!!

phoebe was a bit ago
no one however has molted out primaries so i don't have to clip wings yet
lilli and phoebe still have the clipped wings i did last year!
i expect however to have to clip before winter

momma still hasn't started her molt.

she is getting a bit tamer, as there are occations when i can pet her
and she isn't too bad really about me picking her up
i do occationally have to corner her however, but she realizes that normally it's to put her in the pond, which she likes so that's ok with her

lilli is still bitchy
she loves her momma again, but still hates momma (the duck momma)
oye

meanwhile ducette and the other chickens are doing well, ducette was broody but is now running around the basement. we'll put her back in with henrietta probably sunday

ok i have to reboot this vista yet AGAIN
I hate vista, have i mentioned that?
i HATE VISTA
it makes my very FAST computer run like a brick
oye
