Duckie Monday

39 Comments

We have a lot more rain coming our way in the form of another water-logged front and while out walking it was clear to me that it was on its way. The occasional breeze ruffled the lake’s surface but it was otherwise very calm and smooth with the blue-grey overcast gathering quickly.

There are lots of warnings about heavy rainfalls with the possibility of landslides in the mountains, so I think I’m just going to stick around here where it might be soggy but it’s 12C (53.6F) and as long as I have rain gear I’m fine.

The ducks don’t mind this at all, though. Bring on the rain, they quack!

For them, rain is a terrifically good thing and they can’t understand why we humans would like things to be a little drier.

Nevertheless, wherever you are, I hope you have a very duckie Monday, rain or not.

      1. Yes it is funny. I also just noticed that we are colder than northern Sweden. I am worried about the tomato plants in our backyard. The tomatoes for the second fall harvest are still all green even though they are big enough. It is too early to pick them.

  3. Rain….is nice in April and May. Perhaps not bad in winter in your area if it is not an atmospheric river. Weather a duck could love for sure. We have had freezing rain here 5 times already this fall, including yesterday. Up to +5 today. Great for my furnace repair. Have a duckie Monday Lynette. Allan

    1. Thanks! Agreed, Allan. We’re apparently much over the regular rainfall for this point in the year. At least we’re not flooding and it’s also quite warm. But my, so overcast. Definitely duck weather. This morning one was nonchalantly waddling along a downtown sidewalk. I hope all goes well with your furnace repair!

    1. Thank you very much. 🙂 You’re going from snow to rain? I bet that will be a slushy experience! But I always find that if I have the right clothes and especially footwear then I’m good. I love the ducks too. They really are cute. Cheers.

    1. Thank you very much, Belinda. 🙂 I agree completely. In the north I had a great parka and here I have great rain gear. Yes, the ducks definitely know! This morning it was pouring again and I watched a little waddler making his way along a downtown sidewalk! Cheers.

    1. Thanks, Linda. Highway One was closed because of landslides (burnt trees were washing out) and we definitely had a lot more rain, but it did slow enough to ease the evacuations. Climate change at work, in my opinion. The ducks are definitely enjoying it, for sure!
