watery wednesday: Lovely weather for ducks




http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/
The rain came down the whole day. In my adult ESOl class, we had a question," Who likes driving in the rain?"

I arrived in school, and guess who visited us? A drake and a duck. It reminded me of this song.( You can see the puddles in the photos)

***I added this because some of you have asked if the ducks were crossing the road.***
These ducks HAD cross the road at some stage. They were inside my school compound. When I took the photos, the kids were inside the ir class rooms. As it was raining, I didn't hang around to see the kids' reaction, and the ducks' reaction.

I am pretty sure the kids were happy to share their lunches, but the ducks would be overwhelmed.

My school is about 3 kilometers from Western Springs park. This couple must have left to get some privacy only to meet 660 children. LOL

Rosemary Clooney - Lovely Weather For Ducks

When the good life seems to have missed us,
And there's no kick thinking of Christmas
Just keep your chin up, brush your troubles away.
There is always some cheer in every shower;
Think of the good it does a flower!
So let's find the bright side
To every stormy day.

When it's pouring rain and people complain
And things aren't worth a shucks,
Don't you yell, just say, "Well--
Lovely weather for ducks!"

When it's freezing snow, about zero or so
And the icy sidewalk glares,
Don't get cold feet, just repeat:
"Lovely weather for bears!"

Though all your cares seem double,
There's good in every bad.
So sneer at old man Trouble,
And he'll go away mad.

When your shoelace breaks and your toothache aches and you need a few more bucks,
Don't you pout. Just sing out:
"Heavenly weather for, what could be better for, lovely weather for ducks!"

Though all your cares seem double,
There's good in every bad.
So sneer at old man Trouble,
And he'll go away mad.

When your shoelace breaks and your toothache aches and the ballgame costs two bucks,
Don't you yell. Just say, "Well--
Heavenly weather for, what could be better for, lovely weather for ducks!

"Heavenly weather for, what could be better for, lovely weather for ducks!"

And this funny video.
