You know, I think #87 is my new #1 favorite reason to keep ducks. You're so right--there is nothing in the world like a delighted duck to lift a person's spirits on a dismal, drizzly day. I mean, how can you be depressed about the weather when your duckies are making such a happy racket?

And, I would comment on ALL the brilliant 'REASONS', but there are toooo many! THANKS ALL! I confess a certain intrigue to the the 'Scovy' posts though (especially the 'footsteps on the roof' variety)
