What’s better than having your ducks in a row? Having your ducks in a row of pools. Happy spring!

Ducks and Danes: Spring Is In The Air

It must be spring. And I will do my best to get video. But today, of course I had my camera and Trixie wouldn’t play, disappointing Nick.

Ducks in the Bathtub…Again

I guess the good news is, we’ve had to do this so often this past year, I have a system in place and it’s not quite as disruptive. Crazy.

Subzero for two days after 60 degrees yesterday.  Unreal. For comparison, Mabel and Maddie spent maybe two nights in the house in their 5 years here. Nick and Nora have been in the house 5 times since last March.

I’m making Pasta e Fagioli soup today. I have to get to the store for a few ingredients I didn’t have on hand, but I’ll post the recipe later today. Until then…

Sprinkler Ducks

It was 100 degrees yesterday and I looked out and saw Nora panting, so it was time for some sprinkler fun. They played for about 30 minutes and then seemed content until the cool front arrived around bedtime.
