planted leek sets so.......naturally 'let there be SUN'

***note to Kyrsyan: that's what we planned to do, a zone at a time...... the 'main' and then knock the wall out and do the baking/storage/eating area


and back to the garden.......
i put the leeks in trenches in the morning then went about my day, figuring 'mother nature's got this'- i mean the forcast was rain rain and more rain call noah on speed dial 1
right?
well not so fast
the sun came out (so did the bugs)
the clouds parted and  no rain to water in the leeks......next thing you would have seen if you were out there was me stealing the duck's water bucket and running around watering in all the leeks....
being chased by thirsty ducks...(and since they don't quack, it was like a silent movie)
and THEN
the hawk came
so all good little duckies ran back into the covered safe pen .............which meant that mommy had to carry the duckies up the hill
they enjoyed the ride, treating it like a monorail at the amusement park
i have finally realized my place in life......

i am a duck taxi

ah and all these years i have been erroneously thinking i was an artist.............. 


now when i went to bring malcom in, a rather cheeky white footed mouse was on top of his crate.
i wish i had been bring the girls in but they all were already in......... malcom being a boy, ignored what was right in front of his face............
so the mouse lives on
the girls would have eaten that mouse so fast
later when bernie went down to get icecream he had a talk with the poultry, explaining to them that mice were delicious poultry candy and they should be doing a better job of cleaning up--- i did ask him what he was talking to the birds about
and he told me what he said


naturally (and with a straight face mind you........we are SERIOUS about our poultry conversations around here) i asked him about their reply...........


with an equally straight face he said 'buck buck buck'


oye


ok now........ today, which is THURSDAY, (somewhere i missed monday)
i am going to see about some knitting and cleaning
i am going to hope for misting gentle warmish rain for my garden
try and figure a nice supper........
and do more computer repair research


i got really really tired last night and bernie had to make supper (everything was pretty much ready to go into the oven, we had oven baked liver )
i was also in pain.......i am thinking age
so tonight i want to have bernie's supper ready before he gets home
no?


and what is everyone doing for easter/passover?
we're having ham
cause i have one in the freezer and i am too lazy to make lasagnia so maybe i'll make baked ziti............we'll see what bernie wants


so happy holidays to everyone (just in case anyone is traveling)
and i'll be here when you all get back


vi
