Happy Birthday to me - I'm getting an ARK


Well, Ian said so. How cool would it be - and how nervous would our neighbors get -if we started piling up wood in our yard and boiling big vats of pitch. That coupled with the ever growing number of animals might make folks a wee bit nervous.

Our little creek might not tolerate a boat three stories high, but it could certainly float out to sea. Of course, the minivan probably wouldn't be able to trek that trailer, we might have to invest ina semi - but it would be worth it.

Maybe we should start construction now so that by the time Jake is through college, and all of our money is depleted, we will have somewhere for us and the animals to go!!! We would have to change the name of our place though, you can't really have a Ridge out at sea.

Rain last night = happy, hedonistic ducks today. Whoo-hoo!

Hey, we have a duck pond today too! (but no ducks)

Hahaha. Your neighbours would love it. Waking up one morning, throwing back the curtains and seeing a 3 story Ark towering above, animals walking up the gang plank, braying and roaring and quacking and trumpeting as they went...

"Honey!" the wife would call to her husband with a sigh, as she look out on the scene. "They're doing it again..."

Is it really your birthday? Well, happy birthday to you!

Of course you need an ark. No well-supplied farmstead should be without!
