Repost for those in the Xmas mode already

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....feeling in the Christmas mood I called into work and took the day off. Marie was off at three so I thought I might get a dig in before her shopping gene kicked into overdrive. Double bagging myself in clothing I headed out the door and was greeted by this site in the Little Sackville River that runs behind my place. Seems that the cold didn't bother this duckie.
Turned on the tunes that I had recorded and thought that "Driving Home for Christmas" was appropriate which was followed by "Linger" as I gave a Fedex driver the finger as he almost took Goquickski's front end off cutting in front of me. Eventually I got a breast of him and gave him a winning smile.
If I had had more courage I would have reported the fellow for dangerous driving.
Bit on the dark side traveling to the schoolyard that I thought I would dig but had the beacon to follow to my destination.
Arrived safe and sound and dug out the digging gear which had a new addition as I now was the proud owner of kneeling knee pads which I had bartered for with a floorer who was installing a Brazilian wood flooring in the Canada Customs rotundra. Man it is amazing what a cup of Tim Horton's coffee will get you at the right time!
Anyway I began my quest for a 50 coin day and after the first few holes wished that I had included a jackhammer in the trade as well. Mind you in the tall grass the ground was softer. Don't like to bang on my own drum but I was starting to get stiff and cold after only a dozen holes but toughed it out in true Bluenoser fashion.
Of course a fellow out walking his dog approached me and asked what I was doing. Just hope that the doggy dew I came across that was frozen was from this dog and that he would get bound up and let loose on this guys carpet at home. Man the questions.
Finally he got the hint and meandered where ever!
Two hours later I had my 50 coins albeit not enough for even a Tim's... a mere 54 coins at $1.15 and a dewy. At least I got out. The field was good to this bouy as I have taken over 500 coins from it.

But as this lady said," This is not kansas Toto!"
Well my ship had come in so it was time to head to port.
Ran into some traffic at the Armdale Rotary and thought I was just going around and around spinning my wheels!
Arrived home to find Marie having tea with her sister Linda. which was ok by this bouy but Marie was owly and took a bite out of me for getting home so late!
Of course Marie thought I was out of my mind going out in the cold in the first place and said that I reminded her of a song from the "Wizard of Oz" I could waste away the hours
Talking with the Flowers
If I only had a brain!
