How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Almost Wordless Wednesday

in Uncategorized on 04/22/09


Meet the Ducks. Yes, the Ducks that have taken over the yet to be opened pool in my back yard. They are confused and have mistaken my pool for a pond. You see in Canada, we have to close our pools for the winter and then wait for the sunshine so we can re-open in the spring.
C’mon Spring. Good Bye Ducks.

      Hm… wonder what’s floating around in that water besides the duckies? lol

      Anyway, maybe you should come down to sunny SC where we’ve been swimming in our pools for the past few weeks.

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
