mine is not as dramatic, but is along the same lines, has happened more than once, blizzard moving in, I am laying in bed, done for the night and can hear the wind banging things around outside and get that guilty feeling that I really should lock the ducks in their house, which becomes a nagging that is preventing sleep as I know the wind may hit 75 miles an hour, so i throw on a jacket and muck boots and head out in the cold in the dark to herd the ducks inside, which you wouldn't think would be difficult since they are already confined in their run, just not their house, but as you know, herding ducks can be a challenge and routinely as the last goes in the house one will slip out and as I turn around to grab it the rest follow and now it's a game... but then, when I finally get them in and I can barely feel my fingers I find that I cannot latch the door, somehow with the freezing and the moisture wood has a way of swelling and warping and just when you need the door to line up perfectly so that you can lock up the ducks, it won't!
