I’m feeling pretty peppy after a great run today. Ok, maybe not “great” by other people’s standards, but it was damn great for me. I leave you with a little something to tickle your eardrums. Enjoy!

…by a duck.
The Hubbster and I were about to take a stroll when we saw this:
What the…? Why are there feathers in our (totally weed-infested) garden??
So we poked our head around the corner and…
we got our answer.
It appears that there is some sort of “nest” but there’s no way in HELL I’m going anywhere near [...]

Yesterday the high temperature was 78 degrees.
