Again?

 Betcha can't guess what it did today.

  We now have a full incubator. 23 Muscovy eggs. We haven't raised any in a long time but they are quiet and very self sufficient. Hopefully they will hatch as this is the first time we have purchased duck eggs and had them shipped to us. We had one that looked like it might have a crack so instead of risking contamination the whole batch we pitched it. Still I wasn't sure what to expect when they were ordered. We will see in a month or so.

 It was pretty quiet here today, anticipating the big event this evening. Everyone in the area was on pins and needles. What to do ...where to go.... what to say..... It was going to start this morning then they moved it to the afternoon, finally it began and no one was stopping it.
 There is no use in fixing the driveway until we are sure it has stopped for a day or two. It'll just do it again.
 There is no weeding the garden until it stops. we don't own waders.
 There is no mowing because the tractor will make too many ruts.
 The geese are having a blast.

Did I mention it rained AGAIN?( Lots of wind too but we missed the severe stuff fortunately.)
