it's been raining
buckets
and buckets for DAYS AND DAYS
the basement is flooded
part of the duck pen is flooded
the yard is flooded.......well you get the picture
i put up the duck pond
it's the smaller kiddie wading pool from kmart
i think it holds like 30-35 gallons total ( on flat ground.....not sloping driveways)
well it is full of rain water.......enough so three little duckies jumped in and took a bath
did i mention that they did this while the temps decided to plummet
and while it was starting to snow
and hail a bit
and that since i had to be there to watch them
i got a bath too????????
and three little duckies did NOT want to get out of the frigid water
soooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i put my poor long suffering bare hands in the water to retrieve the duckies
not once
but THREE FREEKEN TIMES
can you say ' not of sound mind?"
yes i knew you could
i am STILL waiting for my hands to turn back into a more reasonable color
i am expecting that by morning we will have a skating rink out there
and the bucket i left in the duck pen will have frozen to the ground
oye
in 'are you ready for the holiday' news
i am not
it is going to be a halloween christmas this year
long story but
we are going to be hanging pumpkins and spider webs on the christmas tree
doesn't EVERYONE?
til next time
vi
Ok Miss Vi...just want you to know you've created a heck of a stir on Canning 2. I'm sure you had a good reason to leave but a lot of people aren't happy that you're gone.
