Finally, Spring has come

Spring has come to our neck of the woods.

Spring.  A happy time when I can bring in bouquet after bouquet from my garden. 

A sure sign that Spring has arrived.

Wild geese are happy on our pond.  They come back every year to show off their young.

Deer tried to eat all of my tulips.  

Wild apple tree covered in blossoms. 

Apples from this tree will go to the animals.  

There are many other trees which promise to be plentiful and good.

The Asian Pear tree always bears fruit.  
Italian plums, pears, apricots and peaches managed to make it through the frost.  

It will be a busy canning year. 

Be safe, 
Gina

No sign of leaving.

Aren't they supposed to go South? 

Or is it North?

They show up every morning.

You can set your clock by them.

They gorge themselves on fallen apples and pears.

What will they do when the food runs out and they missed their migration?

They will figure it out, you say?

Most of them were born by our pond.
This is the only home they have ever known. 

Have a wonderful week dear friends.

What a difference a day makes

An ever changing vista

The happenings of the last few days have left me fearing for the human race. 

I can't stop thinking about the unbearable grief of the bereaved families. 

I take solace in my surroundings.  

But how do they find peace? 

Wild Geese gather on our pond.  They are getting ready to fly South. 

Would our Emden geese go with them if they could fly? 

This time of year we lower our pond for safety reasons.
The ducks enjoy the newly exposed soil along the banks.  
Who knows what tasty morsels they find .

It snowed all day yesterday.

This morning the sun is shining.

And I have hope.

Thank you for letting me share my thoughts with you.
