The call of the geese

someone killed a red snake

The family that shares a meal...

Oh, yes. Fall is here. We had a warm weekend, and I've been spending 5 - 6 hours working outdoors. Great exercise, if sore muscles.

Cleaning up brush, chopping down dead trees, creating more garden art and tweaking the pond.
Buster was a great help.
Felix and Sadie were breaking bread together.

We had some dead elms taken down. That wood is stacked.

Felix wanted to help get the paper.

Bear and sumac

Newly done garden art

Buster Brown shows me the dead tree!

The geese have been flying overhead. It is beautiful. It is the demarcation point between summer and fall. Not really a point, but signs that allow us to prepare.

I loved living by the lake, watching the geese raise their young. That is all behind us now We are happier watching our children raise our granddaughters!

What a helper!

I told many stories about Eddie and Eva (for those of my generation, 'Green Acres is the place to be!).
We watched these geese come back year after year. They complained about weekend tourists. But they were beautiful to watch.


This video is a short one featuring the sounds of the geese honking, with a few close-ups of my old friends.
