We bought a house


I thought that these little houses were so cute, and such a good idea.

There is some controversy over these houses. But I can just see all of those little ducklings sitting on that platform with their momma.

Spirit Wings...I wish I could have brought home one of these houses. I would just love to see one with its occupants in tact. It sounds like such a good idea to me.


Like anywhere or anything there is going to be opposition. In the UK there was an investigation of expenses. One of the things charged to the tax-payers were these "Duck Houses". Of coarse people who are having a hard time making ends meet question their importance.

Here is a link to the article and the cutest little duck on one of these floating houses.
