Ducky Lucky, and a special gift

Poppy said early this morning, "the Duck must be waiting for you"...

Oh, she is. She knows there is laying mash for the hens in the bucket, so while I'm getting hay for the goats, she eats the laying mash.

Laying mash is very dry so after eating, she must hurry down to the pond as fast as her little flat feet will carry her, for a drink.

Poppy says all these animals are spoiled and too fat, and it's my fault. :(

We certainly did get the wind and rain as that line of storms rolled through last Thursday. A little over 3 1/2" of rain fell on Thursday, and then terribly high winds blew all day Friday.

I tried to tell Smokey it was too wet and windy to be outside but he said not to worry...

there's a dry spot just under the edge of the house.

Oh, speaking of the wind reminds me...in a comment on my last post, Victoria asked, "what direction is all the treeless space from us"? Not good! It's North! We now really feel that cold north wind.

Isn't it fun to get a surprise package in the mail?? Well, I did get one.

Connie over at  farsideoffifty.blogspot.com was doing some cleaning out...a big sort, I believe she called it, when she came across this cute little apron...

it is simply adorable...

looks old fashioned, doesn't it? It looks simple enough that I might can make a pattern like it. It is so cute! but that's not all...

little scrubby pads that she makes. These things are wonderful! I've had one for a while that Connie made. Poppy is always borrowing it to use on things like the car...because it won't scratch. Now he can keep the old one. :)

and like I told Connie, the little card with the Lady Slipper is a gift in itself...

Connie paints these Lady Slippers and makes her own cards. She is so talented.

Better get up from here and get busy! Started this post yesterday...here it is Monday morning and lots to do. 

Thank you for visiting.

Love,
Henny

Thank you so much, Connie.
