The ducks loved the irrigation
boy did they enjoy it when we got irrigation yesterday!!! I don't think they have ever seen that much water. Looked like they really had a good time being ducks.

- Karl,
Thanks! Sorry to nag. I can deal with him for another two weeks or so, but my 5 year old Great Nephew is coming to visit then. I do not want to risk that.
