Walks Like a Duck

Waddle
I always thought a waddle was what a duck did, but it turns out it's a 25 foot long mesh bag filled with rice straw that helps with erosion control.

Cindy and I struggled to get it out of the car and into the backyard when we bought it a couple of weeks ago.  We were covered with rice straw and dust by the time we got it into place on the edge of the canyon.   Greg and Brian heaved it around like it was nothing, but even when it's dry it weighs a lot, and now that it's wet, it probably weighs a lot more.  We're hoping it will help slow down the erosion of the edge of the canyon.

One thing is for sure:  it's not going anywhere as long as it's wet.

Oh, yes, and GO DUCKS!!!  BEAT AUBURN!!!  QUACK QUACK QUACK!
