DD & The Girls

Here is a couple of pictures of my ducks. Danger Duck is the Pekin in the tub. He is the Senior Duck. The pair of Black Ducks are my girls, who are waiting for their frozen peas. they know when DD gets a bath they get peas, lol. Have a great evening.

THREADS.....The magazine

How many of you remember this magazine? How many are addicted to magazines and cannot throw any away? How many of you still have Threads Magazine from Oct./Nov. 1985 (Premier Issue) thru Aug./Sept. 1991? Well I can answer YES to all of the above questions. But, it is time to get rid of stuff and Threads is one of the items that will be leaving my office closet. I tried selling them a few years back and I could not. But, that was before I blogged and now I will offer them to you my friends. It is a total of over 30 magazines and a quick look thru and it does appear that I am missing any, so they are complete years. I would like to get $30.00 for all plus shipping. If you are inerested in them, please e-mail me @ duckslady@gmail.com. I will keep them until Wednesday August 8th, 2012. Garbage man comes bright and early Thursday morning and as much as it will pain me I have to let them go. Have a great Saturday!!

Cool Baths & Frozen Peas

The above title says it all, for The Duck Hilton that is!! Many of you know that I have ducks and did raise quite a few at one time. I am down to just three senior ducks now. Two girls, they are Black Ducks, hence our antiques business name and one male, who is a Pekin. Danger Duck, the Pekin is older then the girls and does not get around real well. He is blind in one eye and is pretty lame. So, sometimes he gets stuck in corners, etc. and just waits for me to find him and help him out. With all of the hot, humid weather we have been having I have taken to putting him in our laundry tub filled with cool water. Oh, what a blast he has!! :-). My two girls can still get around and they take care of themselves with a plastic tub of water. But, while DD is getting his bath, he and the girls get frozen peas as snacks. OMG, who knew that was the next best thing to sliced bread, or at least my ducks think so. So, if you have ducks maybe even chickens try the frozen peas, I like to think it is to them what a ice pop is to us. Have a wonderful evening and great weekend my friends.

Happy August, Full Moons, Lammas Day

Happy August!! Boy, the Summer is flying by for us, but that is okay, keeping busy keeps us young, lol.

Today August 1st is also one of two full moons this month. Full Moon today is called the Full Sturgeon Moon, named this because it was when this large fish found in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain was caught easliy at this time.

Today is also Lammas Day. Lammas Day marked the beginning of the harvest.

Hope you have enjoyed these bits of information all from my favorite, Old Farmers Almanac.

Dog Days of Summer

The Dog Days of Summer 2012 have begun. Actually they started on Tuesday, same day as the Full Moon.

The DDOS will last until August 11th. With many of us having weird weather let us all hope the DDOS will not be too bad. Found this piece of clipart, thought it might cool us off. Have a wonderful evening.

Full Moon

Tonite, July 3rd 2012 is the Full Buck Moon. Named this because it arrived when male deer started growing new antlers. This Full moon is also called Full Thunder Moon and Full Hay Moon. Step out tonite or if the weather permits take a walk and enjoy the Full Buck Moon.

Happy July!

Can you believe it that it is July already? I guess that is what happens when you are busy and having fun, lol. Here in Williams Township it has been and is hotter then HELL!! When your house is old and you only have window air conditioners and just in two rooms I believe everyone will forgive me for saying H**L!!!!!! Like everyone else we are doing what we can to stay cool and if the heat is all we have to complain about, then we are very, very lucky. Les and I have a very good and long time friend who lives 12 miles from the CO fires, she and her husband are doing fine and ask for eveyone's prayers in keeping their firefighters safe and some RAIN!! Time to do that rain dance for our CO friends.

Happy Canada Day to all of our blogger friends!

This week is a busy week on the calender, Full Moon, Dog Days Begin and the 4th of July.

Hope everyone has a great week!
