    I turned your vain duckie into a puzzle. I’m going to try to post the link. If it won’t link here… an admin might need to do it, but I think it’d be a blast for your readers to see this and find out how to do it!

    This album is actually only in my personal page of the ‘jigzone’ site. Without a link, other people really won’t see the album. I can rename the album if you dislike the name Suzanne, or I will certainly delete the whole thing if you prefer. I used your name because they’re your photos as well as your critters. They’re only up there for your (and your reader’s) enjoyment. Let me know and I’ll follow your wishes completely!

    Those puzzles are great fun! and a lot harder than you would think, especially if you do one of the unusual cuts.

    What a great picture! I love puddle ducks. Although if it doesn’t stop raining over here soon enough, we’ll all be puddle ducks!

    To my white feathered ducky friend…

    Do not worry about appearing to be vain!…You are a duck in the mirror…unable to make a change…!
    Arrogance tends to congregate or…uh…ducks of a feather flock together so to speak! So go ahead and be proud of your appearance, confident in the fact that your brothers and sisters are like you but different…
    Flaunt and preen your beautiful self with tempered conceit so that your falling white feathers will be a sign from the guardian angels…a hopeful, floating, reflective peace to others.

    PS…You might slow down that “swaggering” a little bit when you waddle out of the pond…it can be a little annoying observed from the back-side!

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
