about
shhhh. I've been harboring a couple of fugitives.Bob told me under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are ducks or geese allowed to swim in the pool.
For the past couple of weeks, I have inadvertantly been feeding the ducks, Zeek and Zeekette. Naturally I warned them never to come around when they see or hear Bob.
Sadly, the other day we were outside on the deck when all of a sudden Bob says, "Do you hear quacking?"
"Ugh. nnno. no. I don't hear anything."
Quack ........ quack........QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!
"You don't hear that?"
"nuh ugh. You know what, Bob? I bet you're getting a sinus infection or something. That can make you hear quacking."
"OMG! do you have another duck?"
"No! where would I get a duck?"
quack quack quack quack.
Inwardly I prayed....please stay out front. Do not come back here and get me busted.
"Damn it! That's a duck!"
"Well do you SEE a duck?"
"I don't see it. But I damn well hear it. And I know you're behind it."
That was two days ago and he still hasn't seen them. WOOT! WHO DA QUEEN? HUH? HUH?
I thought y'all might like to see fer yerself how danged hard me and milky work around here.
Note that all Milky does is stand there with her stick in the pot whilst I'm scrubbin my arse off at the other tub.
But that's ok cause, I got into my old fried pc from back in the Friday's World days and found Milky's very favorite pic I ever did of her. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha!
I'll post it Monday, if she doesn't have me kilt first.
Barman, as a matter of fact, he calls me Lucy. And everybody calls my friend here and I Lucy and Ethel. (she'll do anything I put her up to) LOL!
You know you can have my addy anytime, my brother. Sadly, you better get here quick though cause the pool, she is a closin and makin way for a new porch and garage.
I actually thought I had the timing on duck visits all figured out so Bob would never cross paths with them. But they started coming more now. They're very cute they follow me all around the yard. Unless I have Lucy out.
Denny, with duck hunters of Bob's caliper, I do believe the little quackers can rest easy.
Milky! What ever would make you think it would be the spam one? snicker snicker snicker.
YES! I'm fillin the damnable thing in. I pulled another dead chipmunk out yesterday, tried to pitch him over the side and he fell outa the net, onto my head, then rolled down my forehead over my nose. GROSS! And don't even get me goin on fall clean ups around here. No way! I'll fill the blasted thing in myself if I have to.
A screened in porch is ever so much better.
Crabbs, screened in porches are the best. That will be great. How about also having a portable screen house over the top of one of those inflateble pools. In the case of a big party the pool can double as a large party cooler filled with lots of ice and good stuff to drink.
For a quick decoy for zeke and zekette how about duck sounds on an iPod. You can tell Bob he must be hearing your Sounds of Nature on your iPod. I am trying.
oh crabby, you did NOT say you are getting rid of the pool, did you?
I would just LOVE to have a pool over here.
well, on the other hand, the weather sucks here most of the time, maybe no need of a pool. yesterday it was hailing so bad, it put a break in my carwindow. I'f never seen hail so big. as big as chicken eggs. and the insuranse wont pay anyway... natural disaster. mothereffers. i pay them every year and if I need them they sai just bad luck... life is kind of hard on me at the moment. efff.
Barman, nobody has ever said that to me before. Usually they just point and say, "It was her idea!"
Mone, oh yeah. That baby is sooo getting filled in. It's way more trouble than it's worth. And I so miss my yard. A screened porch will suit me much better.
I'm sorry you're hitting one of those crap patches in life. You know you can always write me if you need to, kiddo. I've been through lots of crap patches. I'm loaded with experience. LOL!
Poly, you have frogs? LOL! I had a newt. Lots of frogs in the pond but never the pool.
Suze, they mostly poop in the pool. LOL! But this morning they're out there napping! and they're so used to me that even when I say, "Guys, you have to go now.. They just lay there.
Oh and did I mention, they've turned the pool into a Motel 6? They have more sex than I do. Over and over and over again. It's the darnedest thing I ever saw.
If Bob comes out and sees these ducks fornicating in his swimming pool....I'm a walkin' dead woman.
wmy, thanks for the link, babe! Sure you can come with barman. Although, I should warn you, see above. ^ We may have just a slight problem with duck sex.
Hoa boy. Bob will be out here any minute and these guys are not gonna leave. This is where the rubber meets the road. Damn! I'm gonna end up gettin one of those talks again. I hate "the talk". Takes forever to get through one.
Check your shoes before you leave.
That's it, I am on my way. With how hot it is going to be this weekend and how awesome that pool looks I am coming down. It does not matter I do not know where you actually live. I figure I will just look for the fish in the tree.
That is to funny about the ducks but you know you are going to get busted. Of course I think ducks are protected by the federal government espcially if there are eggs involved. Quick, get a dozen or two of eggs and plant them around the yard.
You know I get the feeling that you and Bob must be a lot like Lucy and Ricky Ricardo on I Love Lucy. I think that would be so fun to see.
Now Bob, practice it ... Eye yeye yeye yeye yeye.
