I had no idea.
For the first time in 23 years, a pair of wild Canadian Geese brought their goslings to our pond.
Occasionally we have a brave duck bring her brood.
When geese stretch their necks like this that means that they are ready for a fight. They don't have any goslings and they are jealous.
Every now and then one of the adult geese would disappear for a day or 2. Then, would reappear with two or more goslings.
Originally we had 7 goslings.
Now there are twelve.
I have not known for Geese, or any other bird, hatch their young in spurts.
Females usually stay on their nests until all have hatched.
My lilacs are beautiful this year.
They survived a late frost.
Amaryllis brought in from my greenhouse.
They used to bloom just before Christmas.
Since last October I have painted nonstop. Murals and tiles for new and remodeled kitchens.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend on this very special holiday.
