duck eggs






yesterday Jenna and I went to a little farm and found some duck eggs..one dozen for $2.00. We decided to scramble them as our family ( not me of course) is not very adventerous when it comes to food. I boiled one for lunch. We decided that they are much more dense than chicken eggs....not so sure I like dthem because of the texture
I hear they are great to bake with.

what I have been trying to do lately





I have turned into a stripper!!!! I have been stripping the stairs that go up to the bedroom...there must be close to a hundred years worth of paint on them..and I feel like I am getting nowhere fast!!!



















There had been indoor/outdoor carpetting put down about 25ish years ago...and it was wrinkled and I pulled it up, you can see where they must have been treads at one time










in real life this looks like a pretty mustardy color
















looks like I will never finish

silly squirrel gets on the line shakes it to make the seed fall...maybe he isn't so silly after all
