THEY DEFINITELY WOULD NOT BE VERY DUCKILICIOUS EITHER

 DAFFODILS SEEN IN BAYFIELD THIS MORNING

Not even with yummy liver treats in my hand was I able to convince Pheebs to come out for a car ride this morning so it was off I went by myself.  I didn't go too far on this cold and damp morning but I did make it into Bayfield and back, with a few photos along the way.  Had it been warmer I might have gotten out of the vehicle for a change and taken a walk down around the harbor area where there are still lots of sailboats up on blocks awaiting their soon-to-be time in the sun, fun, and water.  Temperatures dropped throughout the afternoon, and that put the kybosh on any more shed clean-up for me.  I do not think or work well in 'cold and damp' conditions!!

 DAFFODILS AT THE CORNER OF OUR HOUSE

Well, I think my little yellow ducky idea for our front yard frog pond is a bust.  It appears my 10 little duckies can't float right.  They did good for the first few days, but then one cold morning about three weeks ago, I came out and they were all lying on their sides.  No amount of mouth to bill resusitation could revive them but I knew they weren't dead because their color was good.  Bright yellow.  I tried uprighting them, but they just flopped over on their sides.  I took them out of the water for a few days, and when I put them back into the water, they just flopped over on their sides again.  I picked up one hapless little duck and printed on it's underside were the words 'Made In China'.  Say, you don't suppose it's not only their eyes that are slanted over there but maybe their water is slanted too, and that throws the little fellers equilibrium out of whack and gets all the little duckies confused here on the North American continent.  And that makes the little guys tip over on their sides when I put them into the water.  Yes, it is truly an unsolvable Duck Dilemma I have going on here at the moment.  And no, I am not trying to duck the problem.  And no, I can't eat them because with their plastic skin and no feathers, they definitely would not be very duckalicious either.  ('Duk Duk Duk':)

 MAYBE IN CHINA THESE DUCKS ARE KNOWN AS 'SIDE-FLOATERS'

GROANER'S CORNER:((  Answering Machine Messages::

- Hi. John's answering machine is broken. This is the refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets.

- This is not an answering machine; this is a telepathic thought recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where I can reach you, and I'll think about returning your call.

- Hi. I am probably home. I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you.

- Hi, this is George. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave a message, and then wait by the phone until I call you back.

- Televangelism is all about false profits. (well ain't that the truth)
