A green marker, eh? Worthy of some stump time, that thought. Thank you for the suggestion.<br /><br />Dear Denise,<br />I would like to pass on Mrs. Micawber's suggestion to you. If you were to mark the tailless sister before her tail actually grows back, you will then be able to know who is who. By doing this you could certainly raise their self esteem. Who would want to be known as 1 or 2? Besides, maybe they can't tell themselves apart. Did you ever think of that?Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109785080000770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024991967988557735.post-57742931352766345752012-01-12T19:26:11.128-08:002012-01-12T19:26:11.128-08:00Those snowmen are very cheerful!

Are you a vegetarian, by the way?)<br /><br />It's hard to resist a flock of ducks, especially when some of them have beautiful shimmering green heads. I suggest getting hold of a green marker or some green paint, and colouring your own head. Perhaps then the Goatmother will let you follow her around the yard, or at least throw you some grain once in a while.<br /><br />Keep up the cheerfulness! La Nina has relented and is allowing us some snow at last. Perhaps you'll get some too.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024991967988557735.post-88526032044926794322012-01-12T12:46:46.740-08:002012-01-12T12:46:46.740-08:00Ha-Lizzie is a riot!

Maybe, that is why there are SO many ducks. You could ask for offerings or love gifts and, well, you get the picture. The sky is the limit. Marigold you are witnessing the birth of a new religion. Try to get in on the party. Those fish will one day be worth a fortune.J (tealess and nonfunctional)noreply@blogger.com
