the duck spirit

I came home the other day to find a large, brown duck on my back porch. I spoke gently to her and she stayed for a minute or so before flying into the woods.  I have tried to identify her in several bird books as well as the Michigan DNR web site, but can't find her breed. I wonder if she is migrating, or lost.  My neighbor said this duck also watched her as she chopped wood a few days ago.  I hope to see her again and will try my best to photograph her. She has yellow feet and a grey head with sharp, crested feathers. 

Bless me, duck spirit!

blow dryin' the boot

I was washing out milk cans with a combination of soap and bleach, and splashed some onto a favorite pair of pants I was wearing.  I didn't want to get bleach spots on the pants, so I aimed the hot water hose I was using to wash the cans right onto my pants, to dissipate the bleach.  It worked, however all of the water ran down the leg of my pants and into my boot.  It took an hour of blow drying, but the boot is dry  :-)
