OOPS! I missed Day 13
Even though Zebadiah likes food, he obviously can’t cook. This Cast Iron Skillet Apple Blueberry Pie looks really good to a rubber duck, but of course he can’t eat it. We make sure he is in the other room before we eat this right out of the oven with a big scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream melting all over it.
Mmm..It sure was good. Sorry Zeb!
30-30-1 Project Day 15
Today Zebadiah got to take a little road trip to Richardson. It’s is a little road trip because you can’t tell where Plano ends and Richardson begins. Nonetheless it is a few miles from our house.
Zebadiah, being a native Texan, wanted to see some Bluebonnets. This little road trip will have to suffice for now. There is a pasture that is filled with wildflowers, and the National Flower of Texas is the main attraction.
There are people all around taking pictures so you can imagine how Zeb feels. He’s is still kind of shy around other people.
30-30-1 Project Day 14
Zebadiah likes flowers and always takes time to stop and smell. He says they are “smiles from heaven”. The yellow flowers remind him of some of his little yellow relatives that he misses and hopes to see someday.
Zeb would like to see the fields of bluebonnets, but will have to wait till the weather is better. Maybe next weekend when he takes his first trip to the Texas Hill Country.
30-30-1 Project Day 12
It has been noted before that Zebadiah is easy to take care of since he doesn’t eat. Sometimes he likes to look at food and drinks. He is always curious of the flavors and aromas that emit from them.
Zeb is watching over the grill and hopes those are Chicken legs!
30-30-1 Project Day 11
Growing up in the city has some advantages. You can drive almost any direction to find good places to eat, and shop. Sometimes this is a disadvantage because its easy to go a little overboard with spending, especially if you are on a tight budget.
The only time Zebadiah has been this high in the air is when his family migrated to Texas. He was too young to remember how they actually got here. Zeb wanted to see for himself the roadwork that is the backbone of the city.
Although the amount of traffic is very low this morning, He thinks he will stay closer to the creeks and ponds. Why would a duck need to be on the highway anyway?

Zebadiah says – Thank You Dirk!
30-30-1 Project Day 9
Over the weekend, my wife stocks her workplace with water, drinks and snacks. Zebadiah had heard about the big Grizzly bear that she works beside everyday. This time he got to go and see for himself.
“Wow!” said young Zeb. The bear is huge compared to the little rubber duck. He wonders what it would be like to live in the forest, but thinks he will stay in the city for now. Zeb would not even be an appetizer for this thing.
I don’t know all the details as to the reason the bear became my wife’s office mate. I’m sure there is story there somewhere.
30-30-1 Project Day 8
It turns out Zebadiah likes country music just like I do. He watched the awards show humming with the songs and anticipating the next song and trying to pick the winners. Zeb does have a few favorites, Reba being one of them.
He has an opinion of the state of country music as well. Zeb says some songs are not country but he listens anyway. It’s hard to beat Three chords and the truth but then again, it doesn’t hurt to be diverse either. Without diversity, wouldn’t life be boring?
30-30-1 Project Day 7
Today Zebadiah finally made it down to the creek that is just behind our house. It was a cool overcast spring day after a nice rain from the day before. He has often wondered about this creek and it was time for him to take a little swim.
As he waddles around in the water he can almost make out some of his live relatives over his shoulder. He wishes they would come closer to visit, but the live ducks are not to sure about young Zebadiah, being a green rubber duck and all. Being the optimist that he is, Zeb thinks he may get to know them better at some point. Only time will tell.
Zebadiah loves this little concrete filled creek. It is peaceful and away from the everyday life in the city. There are deeper waters not too far away so he is careful not to swim too fast or far. He can hear other birds the background as he enjoys the cool water.
Zeb plans to come here often. He dreams that someday he will meet other rubber ducks floating lazily down stream.
30-30-1 Project Day 6
Anyone that knows me knows I love basketball. Luckily Zebadiah is no different. He likes to watch the Dallas Mavericks and Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Zeb loves March Madness for sure but he hasn’t gotten to watch any games yet. Today will be different.
With Texas Tech in the Final Four for the first time, Zeb had to get a new camouflage Texas Tech shirt. We couldn’t find a Final Four tee shirt for him but I got one or two for myself. We will watch the game on TV in the comfort of my easy chair.
Zeb doesn’t get as excited as I do nor does he yell at the TV, but I can tell that he enjoys the game too.
Guns Up!! Wreck em Tech!! Go Red Raiders!!
