My dear Readers,
Here we are again....! I could apologize for the long delay in posts but life does happen! Settling into a new life, establishing a business from the ground up, and the myriad details of everyday responsibilities can sometimes get a little overwhelming! I have often heard that technology is our friend and that these "tools" assist us in getting the most out of every moment! Maybe for some! But for this gal, I confess it is a chore!
For months, YES MONTHS, I (and a friend) have been working on creating a website for my studio, Clarissa's Corner Photography (a.k.a CCP Studios) and every spare minute has went into that project plus work, auctions, holidays, tax season, farm machinery season, photo shoots, church, and travels! It's not that I haven't been a busy gal with lots to share, my tools have just been an "issue". Sometimes I wonder how in the world I can just keep it "Simple"!
However, I said all that just to say....Howdy! Welcome Back! Are you ready for adventure? And Laughter? Then settle in and let's begin.I know this is silly but knowing that I was writing my first post in a while, I couldn't decide where to begin so for a while my posts may seem a little random as we catch up with each other. During my lunch hour, I drove out to Lake Linville, to think things over! and I am so glad I did! In fact, if I ever dedicated a post to anyone...this one would be dedicated to my awesome friend, Deborah, in NC! If there ever was a Geese Fan Award, it would be hers! Maybe she can answer my questions....!!!
I was so thrilled to see all these little families of geese...at least three or four or more. It was hard to tell just who the real parents where in some cases because the older geese were working together to care for their young.
I wonder do grandparent geese help out their young'uns with baby sitting duty? Hmm! :)
As I watched them eat and lay in the sun, I couldn't help but feel at peace. What a perfect world they live in...NOT!
First, there was one little gooseling with a hurt foot! When his parents lead the way for cooling swim, all his little brothers and sisters quickly waddling after them, leaving this little one behind. Right there on the bank was this huge (well, from his point of view) log that was nearly too high for him to get a jump on.
Time after time, back and forth, he tried! I was ready to risk a flogging by his parents to help him over but finally, he made! I nearly Whoo-hooed OUT LOUD for the little one! But, even sweeter, was the momma on guard, not swimming too far until all of her family was together.
Then, there were three big strapping single (lol) geese gliding along strutting their stuff or it could have been some bad mommas.
I say single guys because when they sailed to close to the bank, one of the daddies was flogging their hides! Oh yeah! It was surely something to see!
Nothing nor Nobody was hurting his babies! He had 'ATTITUDE"! Even the blackbirds were getting to close for his comfort! Which makes me wonder...if the blackbird was just eating the grass designated for the Gooselings or if he would really hurt one of them?
I guess this is enough rambling for one post....so get out and enjoy this beautiful weekend! Make a memory and come back and share it with us! I would love hear of your adventures!
