But then, a few days later, they welcome their friends.

A lonely goose with a broken wing roams our property.

But wait, a week later, her friends or off springs come to keep her company before…they say goodbye.

Will the lone goose survive the winter? We are told the cold is not a problem as long as there is open water. We feed it corn:)

Will warmer weather ever come? Will we be free again?

No doubt!

 

Since pussy willows have been out for a while, we knew it was only a matter of time before bears would be crawling out of their dens in search of this precious nutrition. Sure enough, last night, we heard knocking on our window. We looked outside but could not spot anything at first. The second time we heard the noise, we knew it had to be an animal and of course we spotted a two year old cub walking in our shrubberies.
But then, this morning, we wondered what he thought about the overnight snowfall.

Was it excited like a child seeing snow for the first time? lol

Snow on this 30th day of Spring is not welcome. At least it was sunny:)

But by 11 a.m., oh no! More?

Not sure whether I should be happy or sad. Did I plant too early??
