Ducks Find New Pond - My Driveway
I took some pictures of these ducks when my driveway was flooded. They thought my driveway was their pond as they swam around from my driveway onto the street.
Some were sitting up on the fence.
My neighbor put up this sign. (The sign is at the edge of his yard) He is so funny. You have to have some humor in all of this. Can you believe that this end of the street had more water than we did? (This is after 5 days since the storm)
Some kids actually were in a kayaks on the street and the couple at the end raise koi fish and some of them got out and people had nets try to catch them.
This Great Egret was walking around my yard. I still have a lot of water.
He took off as I tried to get closer. You can see that the water is going down from my barn.
Each day I watch to see how much the water will go down today and hope it doesn't rain. My husband comes home on Sunday. I can't wait. At least I don't have to cut grass while my husband is away. lol!

Over The Moon party #77
Teriyaki Beef Skewers
I decided to grill out today (I wanted to be outdoors a little) and when I saw this recipe for Teriyaki Beef Skewers, I knew that I had to make them.
I marinated the beef for only 6 hours instead of the 24 it called for and they were still great. This would be great to do the night before so all you would have to do is grill them when you come home.
The recipe stated that the pineapple juice was optional, but I think it gave it added flavor, even though I used a mango/pineapple version.
I love recipes that I can easily make changes to. Next time I am going to try chicken instead of beef.
