As I took a gander, (get it, gander, goose, male goosee) around the east end of the buildings, I noticed these two parked across from the P-Pond soaking up the bright sunshine and obviously scoping out a spot to nest and believe me there are plenty to choose from. I believe the one sitting is the female (imagine that, like it took hours of study to figure that out) and the male is keeping an eye on me in case I am a threat or maybe just the sun reflecting off of my head startled him and made him jump up, go figure. They really are great to watch and I have a lot in common with them as we pick a mate and we are together for life, big poofy tail, and oh, I like eggs too, and given the number of gooseez I see daily, there is going to be a lot of little gooseez (goslings to you non-goosee people) around the P-Pond this year so don't hesitate to take a "gander" at them a little later on in the spring.....
Well, the week ended on a positive note with another very well executed Thursday weaning, washing, moving and fixing, and no mommies doing well, you know, in the Gestation barn. Lucky for us they all were longers (long gestation lengths) so they made it till their suites were ready and all settled in before they, you know, all over the place.
4-H pigs are still going outa here like flys to a candy apple and I can't wait to see the fair results this year, going to be interesting to say the least!!!
Well, it is time for some B&B (bananas and burritos, talk about a magnesium burn) so I will take my leave of ya'll.....for now the weather is crappy, freeze to thunderstorms, but all are home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again.....:)
