Just Ducky

Today does not promise to be fun.

I'm having some minor surgery to remove

a birthmark gone rogue.

I have a cold that has me coughing like a crazy

person and so I tried to get out of it 

with Warren and my friend, Melissa

by insisting that I'm going to cough

at the wrong time and the scalpel is going 

to go where it should not go 

and pierce my lung.

They are not buying it.

Blah!

What do they know?

I'm doomed.

Oh well.

It really is a minor procedure and I'll 

be just fine.

A couple of minutes and a couple of stitches

and I'll be just ducky.

Kind of like these sweethearts captured

at the Virginia Living Museum.

Out in the bird sanctuary we found lots of 

other interesting creatures...

 So majestic even though it is captivity due to an injury and cannot fly.

We assume this one was drying its feathers.

It held this pose for more than 15 minutes

while gently waving his wings in the breeze.

Either that or it has an issue with fear and was 

attempting to intimidate us all of the time.

I choose to believe the prior theory.

The air was her blow dryer.

I do hope your day is good.

Just Ducky, even.
