Beaches

After the last couple of emotional days I'm feeling slightly better. While the boys are still on the look out for the girls, I must admit I do to. I thought I saw a girl at my back door yesterday but it was just a white pipe (I mustn't have had my glasses on). I really believe that the boys think the girls are down at the neighbours house. The keep looking down there, but never actually walk down there. I think they only did before because they were following the girls.

I felt much better yesterday after I buried the girls. My neighbour helped me with the aid of his tractor. I choose to plant them up near our lime trees. Unfortunately the neighbour chose to start digging the hole near our water pipe. While I don't think he broke the pipe, he did manage to run over it countless times and then bury it so he could drive over it some more. I'm guessing he may have cracked it as I saw a puddle of water and I have less pressure today. I was thinking about what to plant on top of them and decided on some watermelon. If I could plant some bacon up there, they would prefer that, but as I can't - watermelon it is.

I actually had a really good day the day the ducks died (until I got home, that is). It was funny my friend and I went shopping and she purchased the dvd Beaches. We joked about how we cry every time we watch it. So when I got home that night and was nursing the two babies as they died I started thinking about 'you are the wings beneath my wings, fly etc' which cracked me up but then made me sad. Damn you beaches.

I just watched Tommy walk down to the neighbours. I feel bad for the boys, I wonder how long they'll keep looking for them.
