Chilly Sunday

 Another happy Frogpond Sunday.  Bruce and I went down to Modesto for a day of errands in town, lunch at our favorite Japanese restaurant and a stop at the feed store on the way home.


It's now evening and the geese are tucked in for the night in their nice cozy stall.  At first they didn't like the light in there, but now they hurry right over and hunker down under it.


The new truck, christened "Thor" (surprise -- we name all of our cars) went to town today sporting a red Rudolf nose.

The next week will continue very cold, but after tonight we'll slowly be warming up to the 30's again.  There's no rain in the forecast.  Our poor "pond" is now a very large hole in the ground with a thin layer of rotten snow covering the bottom.  All I want for Christmas is rain...

  1. Hope you get some moisture to fill up that pond. Your geese seem happy with their warm & toasty digs. My stupid goose refuses to go in the huts or under the barn with the rest of the livestock. The only real reason I'm concerned is that I don't want him to freeze to death before Christmas.....as he is the main "guest" at the table!

  2. Our geese have (so far) been strictly decorative -- although, if they keep "decorating" the carport and porch, perhaps I'll be looking for recipes. I've never actually known of anyone who actually eats Christmas goose. May he be delectable!
