Paths


I looked out my back window and saw Lucy's path. The ground was heavy with dew and between her belly and her large goose feet she left a very noticeable path. I just had to take a picture. She only came up to eat then went right back to her nest. Last night I tried to see how many eggs she has laid but she wouldn't let me near. They won't hatch as she is a single goose so I have to steal her eggs when she isn't looking. I feel like a bad goose mom but it has to be done.


I have new neighbors here in "The Hollow." A very nice young couple. As they like Lucy and cats they must be nice. I don't know if I ever mentioned the fact that I have four house cats. Their names are, Stupid, T.B., Bob and Sylvia. They are all characters. Speaking of characters, we have one here in The Hollow. Last night he was cutting down a very large tree right next to his house and even closer to the road. Why he was cutting it I don't know. It seemed healthy. But needless to say it was quite a good time watching. We congregated on my side lawn and watched and chatted. It was good that I had most of my lawn furniture out as there was a small crowd. Much to our dismay the tree fell right where it was supposed to. It didn't hit a thing. Maybe I ought to get him to cut a dead tree I have. HMMM!
As for the pond? It isn't any closer but I still hope to have it dug soon. I'll close with another picture of my favorite goose. (my only goose but still my favorite) Till next time.

  1. Fantastic pictures! I have chickens that are trying to set now. They get mad when I steal their eggs! I wouldn't want to be on the mad end of an irritated goose.
