the old april showers.... have shifted through may to

june

it POURED last night
i am just going to have a fast cuppa and then go and see if the chickens and ducks are floating
at one point, it rained so hard that bernie thought that our patio umbrella flew away

we checked
it was still there

we aren't so sure about the chickens and ducks

i dreamt of an old friend of mine that i lost touch with
and even in the dream i lost touch with her!
then when i ran into her in the dream, just as i was leaving.........
she said.........'come to a party tomorrow night, it's in your honor'

which i really couldn't go to
then she said

'i wore a grey sweater just like you always did'
which is sorta true
one of my staple winter colors while working 'in the field' was grey
in all the shades
and a lot of tweedy flannelly heathery greys

what an odd dream, which i swear was brought on by the rain pounding down


ducklings.......... we aren't sure if they have arrived yet
another reason i am up a bit early
i have to go and see
they are/were spoken for

but the guy hasn't returned my emails
and i have at last 'figure' 13 give or take cause she tossed two eggs out
great
a coven of ducklings
just what everyone needs

i agreed to this setting only because the guy said he'd take ALL of them, as he has a farm
he wanted 12 so one more won't be an issue he told me
although if there WERE more i would keep back a girl or two for eggs
anyway
if there are babies...and they WERE due yesterday, so there should be
in addition to the rain
i will be fighting with a duck
oye
and babies will be in the laundry basket
AGAIN

meanwhile a very soggy sodden vi bides you adieu

ps: SEND THE ARK NOW

oh and buy that pantry book
