duckie dilemmas

(picture is of my magazine file that i just made, i still need brass brads to hold the label on and finish it off)
yesterday, i was out with the duckies.......
they were in a good mood
it wasn't raining
the sun was out
their pond was full with fresh clean sparkling water
three little duckies jumped in the pool

poor phoebe is now the smallest duckie
with momma and lillianna in there it gets a bit crowded
especially when the girls are washing wings

which by the way is a glorious sight............. wings going a mile a minute with water splashing UP and out over 10 feet and sparkling in the sunlight

well anyway back to phoebe
she was standing in the pool squished against the edge while the other two splashed
water was dripping off her beak

i got the old pond out and filled it a bit, as there is a hole we need to fix in it so i can't fill it full

phoebe JUMPED out of the crowded pond and RAN over to jump into the older pond
then happily proceeded to splash for all she was worth

PHOEBE! why did you come out of the full pond???

'i had to mom, i had no room in there..... and besides, lilli pooped in the water'

ok phoebe, but remember i can't fill this pond up cause of the hole......

'it's ok mom, i'm not that big and it's got enough water for just me'

after about 45 minutes of splashing happy duckies, a totally drenched driveway and surroundings (including me)

three duckies stood on the driveway in the sun preening feathers
even phoebe
i was so proud of her, she preened every single wing feather and put them all in their place

it's amazing what a little space of your own will do
take a lesson from a smart little duckie
and find some space of your own
