Random Bits From The Day

I felt better today so I got up from the computer and ventured into town with Mr. Adams to run some errands and have some lunch.  It was raining cats and dogs...



We tried out the new Asian restaurant downtown. The food was good, but my fortune was bad...


At the grocery store we picked up some mouth wash, per Levi's request. He wanted the "Scope" brand, and their containers have this ridiculous new shape....


He was impressed. Once home I got back to work on the book and worked on it for the rest of the day.

The ducks have been getting pretty active the past few days. I think they can feel Spring coming.


Jeeves has been "making eyes" at some of the girls, so I am hoping some of them are thinking about starting to lay some eggs. When we were in Mexico I picked up this "Magic Egg" at a souvenir shop. 


Fake eggs can be quite effective in persuading ducks to lay eggs, so tonight I snuck this one out into the hutch in one of the nesting boxes. It's a magic egg, so if it convinces them to lay eggs, what color do you think they will be?
