Hope that leg was broken!~ George no more~ Geese have arrived~Boiling Sap

Well!!! Carlene I hope you had a great time !!!!, last time we were with YOU you were practicing furious~ly w/ Megan on the piano for the tryouts....so I guess tryouts went well and I hope the play did, too, and make-up was bought and applied and that there are pictures for ME!!!!!

Sadness for Japan...the pictures are hard to look at...

It is hard to get used to the quiet outdoors, George , our 7-8 yr old rooster did not make it through this long winter... a credit to his species...I was hurt by him more than once, he ruined a favorite pair of slacks and regularly created havoc when we had to clean or do anything near the hens...just doing his job, I guess..but I often called him bad words that he really deserved..and since several of the eggs in my fridge are fertilized he was doing it right up 'til the end...tried to find his picture but since I am already down an hour (HATE DST) today I give up and will show the geese returning yesterday...they are "our" geese because they came right up to the deck looking for corn...which is what we give them before they disappear to their nests until we see the goslings...and we had corn! ..It's hard to know who is Fred and Ethel and Lucy and Desi , but 7 returned yesterday ...last summer there were the two pairs and each had five goslings that we saw get pretty big until once again they go somewhere to grow those flight feathers...7? yes, well I don't know what happened to number eight as they should have returned in pairs...the clear path that has melted was our snowblown path to the bird feeder...front yard still has a few more feet to melt..

Made a cup (yes, well) a maple syrup yesterday...definately not a winning economic equation...making syrup..but there must be something that drives us to boil...and today we are boiling again...

..off to knit ...hahahahahahahhhahehhehehehehhehehhhaaahhhhhhhhhhdhghhghghghgggggggh



Look for an e-mail from me today~and READ it (please)!

LUV, Marion
