I had just finished adding the feather board to to last side of the shed when Kelli decided to paint the front. We had bought some cheap paint from Lowes a while ago, and used it to paint a bench by the front door. It was a striking blue, almost Moroccan, so it stood out against the grey siding of the house. There was plenty of the stuff left so out came the brushes and on went the colour.
I prized off the wood that was rotten intending to replace it, but everything else was covered.
We had just finished for the day, and I had just started to water the flowers when our friendly lady duck landed on the grass to have her evening meal of the seeds that had fallen from the bird feeder.
I sat down to watch her nibbling away, not wanting to disturb my feathered friend.
She carried on with her pecking not caring that I was waiting to finish the watering.
In the end I grabbed the hose and pulled it through to another part of the garden and used the different sprays to reach the all the other plants, as Donna Duck, as we’ve named her, carried on.
There is often a steady stream of ducks waddling up past our house with their chicks trailing behind. We are alway concerned how they manage to cross the main road, there have been a few occasions when we have had to stop the traffic.
We are also fortunate to see a family of wild turkeys strutting their stuff on Dirty Larry’s land, they should be safe up to thanksgiving.
