doesn't EVERYONE have a duck in a dishpan under the sink? NO?

you mean i am the only one? oh man, i so don't like being
'special'
phoebe has decided that she is going to nest under the sink........in a dishpan
(and you thought human women were complicated? ha.....try figuring out a female DUCK)
and at the crack of 2pm she came out from under the sink to join me in the back for a bath.
sorta
it was cut short by the appearance of the hawk.
anyway, when phoebe was under the sink in her dishpan, i asked her WHY??????
she turned around and fluffed up her tail.....which she then very POINTEDLY make sure was pointing in my direction
i was told off (yet again) by a duck
i tell you.....you haven't lived........
oh man

meanwhile on the drawing board, are purple ducks.
don't ask
bernie won't like them no doubt
and a polar bear that susan swears is supercilious........(she is right you know, the bear IS supercilious)
right now they are covered in white mask preparing for the northern lights to yet again be slashed across a paper.
(and spent i don't know how many hours cleaning the masking fluid brush....cause i am ocd that way)

meanwhile i planted seeds
peppers: ace and lipstick ( and i need to do banana peppers yet)
tomato: juliet sauce
eggplant: nadia, and orient express
i have to get the other seeds ready to go and put them in
i want at least 4 red cabbages (1 early, 2 mid, 1 late)
leeks, broccoli, chard and greens (lettuces and other salad stuff) spinach, peas..... beans, squash, pumpkins, cuc's and maybe some beets, kolrobi etc.....
i am hoping this gardening season is a good one
i really should spend tomorrow in the garden cleaning up and doing that lasagna gardening thing
but i would like some help so maybe i don't throw my back out this time?
i also have to put fresh dirt in the deck containers, (which reminds me, one of the window boxes suddenly fell off the deck yesterday while i was bathing ducks)

momma laid her first eggie of the season!!! yup today!
and the pullets (not the new chicks) are going to the stew pot as soon as i can get the guy....... they laid and ate an egg today
possibly two eggs
so tomorrow ( so to speak) we will have them for dinner...... they will be in the soup pot
i never did like them pullets
(yes i heard them lay.....came to get the egg only to find them gobbling it up FAST before i could 'get it from them')
these pullets were a bad lot from the beginning
however they will redeem themselves with some parsley and carrots

in budgie news....they have discovered the bottom of the CAGE........ohhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh
amazing! new territory!!! uncharted by any BUDGIE BEFORE THEM
oye
i found the two of them running around on the bottom of the cage today.....gee when they decide they aren't afraid....... they AREN'T AFRAID
oh man

thaddeaus continues to be under the weather. i am trying to decide if he is sick enough for the vet or if it'll pass. i don't want to stress him by taking him to the vet if he'll be ok in a day or so.
he's being a good boy so i know he's sick
and i am worried.

falstaff is getting antsy....... bernie tells me that falstaff wants a bit of nookie from his 'ladies'
(leave it to a man huh?) he is 'threatening' to peck me......at least behind my back
if i turn around he pulls his head and his crest up and says 'who me? i wouldn't EVER do that to you mom'
bernie said if i would let the bird at the ladies.......he'd calm down
bernie is most likely correct but i don't have a secure pen to raise the babies
as bernie didn't FINISH the secure pen i need to raise the babies in......
it is just missing a few things like DOORS
minor details

i have decided that i need 1000. of found money for the art supply store.
i need some odds and ends. paints, brushes, brushes, brushes.............. some paper, brushes, a few palettes.......brushes.......oh and did i mention BRUSHES???
my good brushes are not great, i have one decent one but i need more
so i keep saying over and over 'i need 1000 for the art supply store'
think that's going to help any????
i didn't think so either

oye
