Dear Abbey!

Not to turn this blog into a total Abbey love-fest, but, seriously, how adorable is this duck letter holder? Crikey.

  4. What a beauty!

    I couldn't help but include these words from the British writer Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932)...from his classic The Wind in the Willows.

    `Ducks' Ditty.'

    All along the backwater,
    Through the rushes tall,
    Ducks are a-dabbling,
    Up tails all!

    Ducks' tails, drakes' tails,
    Yellow feet a-quiver,
    Yellow bills all out of sight
    Busy in the river!

    Slushy green undergrowth
    Where the roach swim--
    Here we keep our larder,
    Cool and full and dim.

    Everyone for what he likes!
    WE like to be
    Heads down, tails up,
    Dabbling free!

    High in the blue above
    Swifts whirl and call--
    WE are down a-dabbling
    Up tails all!

    - Kenneth Grahame
