Bee Lady goes Quackers!

Well I have to tell you, I wasn't planning on linking up to Verde Farm Friend Friday today because the weather has been so cold and crappy here, there really isn't much beekeeping going on. The plan was to pack some household stuff today. I wasn't even going to get on my blog. I really don't have the time for it today....but I'm so easily distracted.....and when I went to do an errand this morning Marcia called and said she was in town and can I meet her for lunch. Well why not. Then I realized I had to get gas, and right by the gas station is Rural King. And I needed dog food. I'm linking up by the way.....Verde Farm (well can't link up...they're server is down) So I had lunch, got gas, and went for Dog food when I noticed all these bins with lights...again. You remember I saw them a few weeks ago and they had chicks and ducks. Well doggone it they are tempting me....

So I got my phone out and tried calling the coop keeper

Glenco answered...

"Glenco?"

"Yeah?"

"This is the bee lady, is the coop keeper there?"

"No, she's across the street, won't be home until later."

"well, doggone it I need to talk to someone about ducks. I'm at Rural King, I want some, and really, I probably need someone to talk me out of them....or at least tell me what to do. I know nothing about them. I don't even know what kind to get."

"well, I think we got Rouen ducks. They're not hard to take care of...."

oh dear....Glenco was not going to talk me out of ducks.

So I called my farmgirl friend Kathleen. Maybe she has ducks. No she doesn't but how hard can they be, she says? And "I think you should get them because....well....they'll be your first farm animal and they're just so sweet and they'll keep you ...."what was the word she used.....I forget....kind of like serene...anyway....she was all about the ducks. She asked how my Shug felt about me getting ducks and I said, "well, he didn't say no." She even said, "maybe ducks will be your thing." I thought bees were my thing....hmmm.

So I told the sales girl I wanted some.......

then I started reading this book and decided I didn't want them. Then I decided I did...but what kind? The next thing I knew it was a whirlwind of activity going on in my cart....

She was hurrying before I changed my mind again....

the next thing I know....

I was loading up my dog food and heading home.

Meet Purina, Ralston, Hills and Iams. (kidding about the names)

Nope, not an April fools joke!

Don't tell Mom.

PS - Oh dear....My Shug just got home. I'm gonna let him read this.....wish me luck.
