frowsy goslings


Summer is unfolding as it should. Everything is lush and green. Much is blooming.
We are happy to provide sanctuary from the high speed demons on water ski and wakeboards. The waterfowl kindly fertilize our clover, too. The tourists whip back and forth on boats across the lake; goslings and Eva munch my clover.

It is amazing how quickly they grow. Their wings are little useless stubs for now. They look like the ugly duckling.
The water lilies are blooming.

water liliesBut dear, old, emotionally disturbed Mitz has a deep sleep. None of tmitz sleepshat outdoor life for her. She lets the other 2 cats keep the geese and ducks under control. We still have a bear around, and she likes her peace and quiet.

There is much pollen. With the wind it blows across the lake and covers everything: the lake surface, the shoreline, our decks and dock. It must have been a great (cool, wet) spring for the trees considering the pollen amounts. The bears, however, continue to be active around the neighbourhood, since the blueberries and raspberries are late, due to cool conditions, and they need FOOD!

The day time mosquites and blackflies have lessened, but that is not saying much!

Traffic is busy and there are garage sales aplenty. Lots of places for sale, too.

I must have taken a 1000 photos of Lake Superior. Our accountant just popped by to finalize a tax concern, he is headed to the Lake Superior Park to camp! I shall organize my photos. Such scenery!

I love seeing what new things are outside your door. Love the babies, lilies and kitty ... the kitty has a spot just like mine do ... hide in here and maybe the rest of the world will leave them alone! :D :D

Cool post. Sounds like plenty is going on in your neck of the woods. Thank goodness there are less black flies! I hate them ouch more than mosquitoes. A thousand photos to go through!? WOW!

They look about like the ones I saw at our marina. So far no goslings from back in the Hole. Maybe too much construction this year and they didn't nest there as usual. - Margy
