Lord Love A Duck! Acrylic on wood
What does that saying even mean? My mom says it, I’ve herd several make this remark over the years.. the other day watching the ducks run around, I thought: Lord, love a duck!
After some investigation, it’s still not clear what this expression means. It seems to be a form of exasperation.
Not, another way of swearing.
In written words it can be found several times, still it doesn’t make the saying any clearer as to the true meaning. I’ll take it as it states - Lord, love a duck! Ducks are amusing, chatty, social, entertaining, affectionate - what’s not to love?
Now, I have a duck ‘treat board.. or I might add hooks - a place to hang keys.
Lord Love A Duck… and chickens too.
I read a child has died, after a crash involving a UTV, driven by a drunk adult. Heart breaking, something that I’m sure started off as fun - turned deadly. Just like golf carts, minibikes, even riding lawnmowers… people forget they are operating a machine, capable of causing harm or death if not properly used. Add alcohol & the person is impaired - just as driving a car.
I’ll admit as a Canadian & cottager, for decades - many times we drove our boat, glass of wine & a beer (or two) while out and about on the lake. The same could be said when we had a snowmobile out on adventures - Rum in hot chocolates on our winter adventures & this includes friends… it’s a mindset. No one anticipates ending up in an accident.
I can be a real buzz kill’ when it comes to alcohol, I don’t ‘allow’ drinking, not even one beer - while working in the shop with power tools & saws. Not out while working in the woods either. In my lifetime I have witnessed too many incidents that have turned negative (some deadly) due to alcohol consumption, I have no problems being a "buzzkill.'
Lord, love a duck! Look after yourselves & your loved ones.
