Husband & I made the drive up to Crouch again to pick up a parts truck for the crane...yes, another truck--that doesn't even run.... We took the new boom truck up to tow it back down to Boise... It's sooo pretty up there :)
So, the yellow thing is what we came to get; had to drag it out of the weeds & then do some fixing to get the tow-bar attached.
this is where I got bored & wandered off....there wasn't much I could help with anyway.....
Still fixing.....
More meadow flowers :)
And then I noticed that the shop was open: so I had to check it out---they have all sorts of stuff, from antiques to vintage clothing, camping stuff, jewelry, etc. And, if you can read the little white board out front---it says chickens & ducks for sale.....
Yep; 2 little puddle ducks---sooooo cute! Of course, I had to inquire about them, beings how they were only $4.50 each.... After finding out that they will look like a mallard, but bigger & they don't fly, I couldn't resist!! They got boxed up & came home: all in all, I think they were a better deal than the parts truck; but that's a different story :) They are now happily running around the back yard enjoying the little creek we have--omg, like little vacuum cleaners, they try to eat everything :) And they follow me around like little puppy dogs; so cute...
Anyway, after hours of fixing, we finally got the trucks hooked up & on the road. Made it back to Boise all in one piece, with the 2 duckies peeping the whole way :) The old yellow truck will be scrapped out once Husband gets all the use-able parts off it & the ducks will be put to work eating bugs in the garden. Such strange adventures we have....
