Thursday, March 9, 2006 - The Rose and Amey Show, and Those Pesky Canadian Geese |
Yesterday I let the kids (the goat ones) out of the pen while I milked
Daisy, that way they could wreak havoc elsewhere, rather than on the
top of my back. It's killing my knees having Rose dance around up there
like she does! Then my mom stopped by this morning and Rose and I had
to do the "show" for her, which she enjoyed. We just got our goat in
January, kind of spur of the moment, and we didn't have things ready
with a fenced-in pasture and a separate pen for the kids. (Side note:
if we waited until we were prepared to do anything, we'd never do it.
Sometimes we just have to jump in with both feet and do our best as we
fly along.) My husband is working on the milking stand, and it is
almost done, but not quite. He has to do it in his "spare time".
The Canadian geese are out in full force. Are they still "protected"?
Those things make such a huge mess. We hate to have them on our pond,
so we try to scare them off whenever they come for a visit. I'd rather
have our own ducks out there making a mess if we must have a mess.
Anyone here from Canada? Could you come over and get your geese? haha.

I'm glad the *kids* gave your back a break! That picture was so funny! LOL And I am sorry those pesky geese are making such a mess of your pond
Blessings,

| Those rascals are very aggresive. We live in a very hot location. We used to only see the geese as they were passing through, going south in the fall and north in the spring. but a few years ago a pair staid all winter. The male was injured and had a broken wing. That was about 5 years ago. Now we have them here all summer and winter. Lots of them. I am not sure why they decided to stay!! |
