It's finally here!

SUN! Oh glorious beautiful sun! How I did miss you, never leave me again! Ok so yesterday was awesome because the sun finally emerged, giving my vegetable garden room to stretch finally. I let my duckies outside for the first time also. After they got past the initial shock that there was more to this world than the plastic tote I have been keeping them in, they LOVED it! Bugs and grass was eaten (not only by the ducks but my beautiful daughter). We found out the duckies just happen to love nail polish and toe toes as they were pecking at Makenzie's toes every chance they got. They would chase her, she would chase them, it was all so fun and funny! I also learned that my baby duckies think I am their momma, which thrilled me beyond belief actually :) They followed me everywhere and stopped every time I stopped and when I went inside the house they hid under the porch until I emerged only to have them at my heels. It was rather cute I must say. Other than that there was lots of playing outside and getting eaten by not only black flies but also the dreaded mosquitoes, which I am not sure which I like least since I seem to swell up like a balloon anywhere I get bitten by a nasty little mosquito. Oh and there were tumbles down the porch stairs as I watched in agony as Makenzie hit every one of them with her head. Don't worry she's ok, just a cut lip and some bumps and bruises, thank goodness! The lawn got mowed finally (it was horribly past due), my poor flower gardens got weeded (again I say, horribly past due) and for the most part I felt pretty darn good. Oh and on the upside the past few days I have begun to feel the little sprout in my belly wiggle around a bit, which is pretty darn cool in my opinion. I must say, days like yesterday really make me love Maine a lot. I think God knows how terrible our winters are so He makes up for it in the summer :)
