(To the tune of Coolio's Gansta Paradise)
As I walk through Fountain valley and then stop by the run
I take a look at my ducks and realize there's more than one
Cause I've been hatching' and buying for so long that
My husband is convinced that my mind is gone
But I ain't never offed a drake that didn't deserve it
Buy duck meat from the store, now you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talkin, and where you walkin
Or you and your shoes might be soiled as the ducks are squakin'
I really hate to trip, but I gotta soak'-
It's 104 and I'm going up in smoke, fool
I'm the self sufficient me the little homies wanna be like
On my knees pulling weeds
Sayin prayers that the bugs wont bite
Been spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
I got a situation, with all that duck
I can't live a normal life, cuz I gotta pluck
So I gotta be down with the web foot team
Too much flock watchin' got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated fool with homesteads on my mind
Got a pitchfork in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'ed out farmer, overalls for armor
And my killin' cone's up, so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nuthin but a heart beat away
That's the self sufficient life, what can I say?
I'm 47 now, but will I live till 48'?
With home growin' food I think I'll do great
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
Eatin junk from the store is bad for you and me
Been spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
No power and no money, no money and no power
But there's food in the pantry and I have a solar shower
I fix things with duct tape when no one's lookin
I'm a whiz in the kitchen, and I always know what's cookin
There's new stuff ta learn, and the forum's here to teach me,
If I cant understand it, they know how to reach me
We got recipes, fruit bearing trees....and bees
They never front; that's why I know my life is fulla luck, fool!
Been spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Redneck Paradise
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
Processed foods hurt you and me
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
We all need ducks for company

Me too. Love Weird Al.
To add to my redneck street cred...
The hot tub doesn't work. We just fill and treat it like a pool. The Pepsi umbrella was purchased at a garage sale for $5 4 years ago. Look by the wicker chair. That planter is an old toilet. There are mini melons growing out of the top. There is duck tape holding the not very hot tub cover together. The chair behind the hot tub cover is just the wood frame now and there is a squash plant in the "seat"

The hot tub story....
We talked off and on about getting one but it never made the priority list. One of our customers was a guy who made his living moving hot tubs. We talked about prices for used ones off and on but nothing ever came of it. Then, he had us run some ads for him and do some printing. He paid for the printing but didn't pay for the ads. Then he disappeared for a while. I guess times got tough for him and he dropped off the radar. He felt bad for stiffing us and offered a hot tub he just removed from someone's basement to call his debt square. Sounded great to us because we had pretty much written him off.
We put in the base (railroad ties and pea gravel). Hubby built the enclosure since this had been an indoor tub. Got it all ready to go and then we hit a snag. The electrician that came out couldn't wire it to the house. Turns out we would need to upgrade our electric to even run a hot tub. Got a second opinion on it. Yup...about $5k if we want to ever use the hot tub as a hot tub. So guess what? It is a cool pool now
Doh!

Almost Self-Reliant
I think I love you. Dad and I planted flowers in an old toilet once. Only, we set it by the front steps and mama hated it. I tried to get him to get another for the other side, but she made us move it.
