Muskoka goslings grow


Eddie and Eva in March, buried in snow on our dock, snoring gently, methinks.

With gratitude we have watched our geese (Eva & Eddie) arrive, on an icy lake that slowly melted. As the time passed, they disappeared, nesting. One late May afternoon Eva showed up with her goslings, but no Eddie. They mate for life and we shall never know what happened.

Here is a slideshow of the goslings as they have grown. I hope they last the tourist season. One seems less healthy than the others. It remains by her side more often than not, hesitates to eat as the others do.

The music is Denise Williams; Wade in the Water. We are both Jarvis choir alumni; she, of course, gave up her day job. I became a teacher! (Those who can't do; teach!) We sang at the Jarvis 200th Anniversary Alumni choir concert in 2007.
