Hello everyone. Well, the rain finally stopped and at the moment we have some sunshine although showers are forecast throughout the day.
Some of you said you would like to see my ducks. One of you commented asking if they are the wooden ducks with name tags. Yes, they are. You can have whatever name tag you desire. I shall hopefully be expanding my collection and get one named after Nathan and one after the new baby when he/she arrives and we know the name.
They come in various poses and you can have natural wood or painted white, duck-egg blue, etc. etc. You can also purchase carved duck eggs. I do not think I shall go that far as Nathan is bound to use them as balls and they would be thrown all over the garden and probably disappear forever amongst the shrubbery.
Anyway, here they are:-
I noticed in the second picture that I have a nice crop of weeds in the lawn to deal with. Well, they can wait for the time being. I am using the excuse that it is too wet anyway. These two ducks are called Happy and Lucky and who knows, maybe they will bring us happiness and luck. Mike and I both think that the natural wood is beautiful both to look at and to touch. We will bring them indoors during the winter if the weather gets very bad.
So, things have gone a bit quackers around here (did I hear a loud groan?)
See you again soon. Oh, if anyone is interested , let me know and I will give you the site where I bought the ducks, the manufacturers themselves. They ship to the U.S.A. as well.

Love the grapics and the ducks have looked at them often in our local garden center. Have not heard of the other 2 games you mentions will have to have a look for them. Off out now as there is not a cloud in the sky. Have a great weekend. Love Joan
Love the ducks Jeannette. Your pics show great detail, too. Glad to see you're back with us again. I hope to be back in the land of journals soon, myself. Hope you've been feeling ok. I think of you everyday, even when I'm not on line. Susan
