Grey Tree Frog . You really have to look to find them. Now, autumn is here and they are winding down.

A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

I'm away for a while, have a good time ;-)

 

These are conservative or "low" Amish horses. The church district no longer exists. 10 years ago there was a schism. The conservative families moved and the remaining Amish became more liberal or "high" in adopting more technology and expanding the type of jobs that were allowed......................................................

The conservative Amish did not allow rubber on tires, tops on buggies, use of propane and required farming and lumber production as acceptable economic activities. The remaining turned to industrial farming practices building large Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOS). Unfortunately given few state pollution regulations and the isolation of the community the few regulations are not enforced. This has led to practices that pollute ground water...................................................................................

 

Unlike their co-workers the horses don't mind having their pic taken..... #kentstrock

Taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "Two"

For those who don't know UK bingo calls, 'Two little ducks' is the call for 22.

"Rubber Duckie you're the one

You make [Christmas] time lots of fun

Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you."

--Jim Henson and writer Jeff Moss

This blue duck belongs to Eli, my eldest grandson. He carries

it with him in his pocket... an undisputable proof of the quote below... 😉

"Rubber Duckie" is a song sung by the Muppet character Ernie (voiced by Jim Henson) on Sesame Street. The song is named after Ernie's toy, a rubber duck affectionately named Rubber Duckie.

 

Smile on Saturday.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain". Or fall in the puddles.

 

I thought (which sometimes isn't good) I could go out in the rain and put rubber duckies in this puddle and get a good picture for today. I crouched down took the pic and went to stand up and slipped on the ice underneath and landed on my right side in the puddle. I should of taken that picture and hope no one seen me make a fool of my self. I didn't really hurt my self (just my pride) because I was so close to the ground but I was WET. I hope you enjoy the shot and my adventure.

These are rubber finger thimbles shaped of Haniwa.

I usually keep them on my desk in the office, but I brought them home to take photo for this weeks theme. I like them because they're cute, but difficult to use.

The hight is 4cm, the part shown in the photo is 2cm.

 

Haniwa are clay figures in the shape of men, women They were made for ritual use and buried with the dead as funerary objects during the Tumulus period.

Well...not really, he's a Pied Grebe, but they are such adorable little ducks that he SHOULD be the model for those little yellow rubber duckies!

 

I watched him for quite some time as he swam happily around the lily pads looking for a snack on a beautiful winter day in Everglades National Park.

 

Part bird, part submarine, the Pied-billed Grebe is common across much of North America. These small brown birds have unusually thick bills that turn silver and black in summer. These expert divers inhabit sluggish rivers, freshwater marshes, lakes, and estuaries. They use their chunky bills to kill and eat large crustaceans along with a great variety of fish, amphibians, insects, and other invertebrates. Rarely seen in flight and often hidden amid vegetation, Pied-billed Grebes announce their presence with loud, far-reaching calls. (background material courtesy of Cornell Lab of Ornithology)

A 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) tall rubber ducky awaits.

The best way to operate a Rubber Bulb is to use a catherter or a sound....

Rubber Duckie, you're the one,

You make bathtime lots of fun,

Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you;

My purple rubber duckie.

This amazing woman in her sixties named Barbara Schwenk that I've been working with at the Greenhouse gave me these to give to Mauro when I go to Italy in September.

 

I told her he liked rubber stamps of American food which is true. I also told her he liked skulls and skeletons and she wants to give me some of those too, wants me to meet her at an outlet mall, says that's convenient for her.

 

This was after I knew she collected rubber stamps because she brought her scrapbook into work to show me the letters she had recieved from Bill Clinton and Mother Theresa and people who write romanticized novels about American Indians and she sends all these people rubber stamp decorated envelopes. And to people in the hospital and she sends money to a family living on a reservation in South Dakota and for thirty years she sent money to a black family in MIssissippi whom she's never met.

 

And the only reason she works at the greenhouse is make money to give away because her boyfriend, who's rich, thinks that her giving money away is silly.

 

I got mad and said, Barbara, you've got to make that man buy you a plane ticket to Mississippi so that you can go meet this family you helped.

This duckling was one of the smallest baby ducks I ever saw. I guess he just stepped out of his egg ;)

But newborn baby bird or not.......he could swim like not other.
