a day only a duck can love, and they aren't too happy with it either

wind, rain, overcast
but really right now i'm ok with it as the garden sure needs it
the peas are calling out for rain
and sprouting

i am behind on the veggie growing, my gardening year, due to the unevenness of the weather is way off.
you guys too?

maybe today?

last night we slept, thanks to two floor stand fans from walmart, one for each of us.....
i took my shower right before bed and while i woke up a few times,............
for the most part i got sleep
i also woke up with a swollen face........what?
oh well this too like corn shall pass.

my yarn is at the post office, and i cast on a hat last night to match damask...... then during the night realized.......i cast on 104 stitches in fingering doubled........it needed to be at least 144 stitches
so i'll rip it back today......damn
i so wanted to get a good start on this hat too

in bernie news, he's got an appointment for a physical tuesday morning. he's over due (next is our biannual eye exam) by 2 years but he's going to be there this time as i am going with him
AND to the lab asap for his follow up labs (you know...cholesterol, etc)

and speaking of bernie, he figured out that our hose is probably leaking, the one i use for duck pails and ponds.......as where it runs through the basement appears wetter day by day even during dry days.....
so i have to look at that today when i go down there to take care of everyone

yesterday little amelia paddled a bit when i picked her up.......i didn't have a good solid safe grip on her  when i tucked her under my arm and she felt insecure so paddled.......... but since what she was paddling against was my ARM--- i am now all sliced up........those muscovy talons are SHARP.
she didn't mean it......i know she didn't
pru got my hand and she didn't mean it either.
stuff like that only happens when i pick both of them up at the same time, one under each arm......
lilli and phoebe are used to it so they don't struggle but the babies aren't yet.
lilli and phoebe know to crouch so i get under their center of gravity.......the babies will learn

so with the sliced up arms and hands.......the rain, the swelling of my poor little body, today isn't the bestest of days
this too like corn shall pass

(doesn't everything eventually pass? life, corn, troubles, good times?)

ok it's going to be a short one today folks, i need some coffee and to run to the post office ( you all really think i am going to let all that yarn just SIT THERE?)
take care everyone, and try hard to stay dry and safe during these storms here......
