Not more PK, these are my first ducks. Names? I have no clue. What do you think?

I see.

I'd say what I think, but... *laughs* You could name one Remilia, one Flandre, and one Meiling.

Peterheid? Wow, we are close! Or at least we would be if you were still here

Yep Peterheid. Was born in Liverpool, raised in Peterhead from very small, used to work at East Leyes riding school that is now Annandale Equestrian in Kininmonth when I left school. I see you are out Huntley way.

How is everyone doing? The temperature here has dropped like a stone, but now I am hearing almost 60 degrees on Saturday. Gotta love New England weather, short sleeves one day and a parka the next!

Ducks!!! I want some...but my hubby would probably freak if I got some. He thinks they are too messy.

Hi everyone,

Look what I found running down the middle of our jobsite!

She was out there dodging tanker trucks in the mud and the snow...it was below freezing when I found her. She was a lucky little dog not to get squished by a semi!

I wrapped her up and took her home, gave her a long warm bath and introduce her to the clan....all but RPITA (Royal Pain In The Arse) Abby, has tolerated her nicely.

I tried to edit myself out of the pics...but...

She's so cute!

That is one lucky dog

Morning comes just entirely too early but since it has I might as well drink coffee. Worked all day yesterday on a 100+ year old house. David and one of our employees worked on the inside while I worked with the owner removing trees and brush from around the outside. The previous owner was an elderly widow and she was unable to keep the maintenance performed as needed. As a result portions of the house were hidden by the vast tangle of plants that had grown around it. While the work wasn't particularly difficult it did tire me out much more that it did 40 years ago. All of the pulling seems to have triggered a arthritic flareup in my hands. My hands ache and swelling has occurred around the joints of my fingers. Both index fingers have actually started to twist and turn. This get old is not for the faint of heart.

Stopped to see a friend on the way home last night and he was showing me the bone anchored hearing device he recently had install. The improvement in his hearing is nothing short of amazing but his wife now teases him about starting to look like Frankenstein. He actually has a titanium bolt screwed into his skull directly behind his ear onto which a small receiver is attached. It is unbelieveable the things that can be done medically these days.

Good afternoon, Opa!

Once you and Mr. David were done, I bet the house was picturesque.

I mixed up the equation for finding the area of a circle in math. It's pi(r)2, not (pi r)2.

DH and DS were away last night and DD wanted to stay at Grandma's so I had a lovely evening at home with just me and Mr P Grigio. This morning is lovely too, just me and a pot of coffee. As much as I adore my family, there is nothing like a bit of peace and quiet and having the house to myself.

Cute doggy Laura!
