i love my ducks

last night as i was putting the ducks away, i took lilli and phoebe on a walk through the veggie garden.
hahahaha
oh man were they every happy....slugs EVERYWHERE

lilli and phoebe ran around scarfing up slugs like crazy.
i helped them, as every time i found one in the raised beds i called them over to eat the hapless slug
DEATH TO SLUGS is the motto around here
and we found a lot
i love my big girls
they are so sweet, so loveable....so muddy
and they listen pretty good for ducks

now the babies on the other hand....
malcom talks....... all the time
he looks you in the eye and tells you all about his day, your day, everyday
oye
thumbprint is still in his own little world.....you can pick him up and he won't realize for a while
little bigfoot we may name prudence because she doesn't have any... but she is so feminine and sweet
may and poindexter are going to live by vicki staples......
unless poindexter is the only boy, then malcom will be maryann, and may will go with one other girl to vicki's
oye

last night for supper was leftover braised beef put into a pie shell with it's gravy reduced to thicken and baked in the oven.....with a cheddar cheese top
i am a very good wife to bernie.... his supper was ready when he walked in the door

meanwhile the rain keeps coming down, the ducks aren't too happy about it
i need to rearrange day pens but have to wait for the weather to dry up a bit

oh and there are 'killer' dogs on the loose down the street sorta
poor things they've been on their own a while but they have a pack mentality now so i am thinking they will be put down when caught
meanwhile they are killing deer and cats
so i worry about the flock

this weekend is chicken pen cleaning.. i can't wait
(seriously i want these pens done, i did them during the summer but they are overdue... i like them cleaned monthly)

meanwhile i continue to try and figure out the kitchen, it's discouraging though. one minute i think 'we can do this' the next minute i think.....'am i out of my mind, we can't do this'
oye

anyone of you guys go through stuff like that?
