We’ve had a decent mix of sun and rain here recently, causing an explosive growth of grass and the plants mixed in, particularly the dandelions. This first photo shows the dandelions and clover in my lawn shortly before the most recent mowing.
This second photo shows similar growth in a friend’s lawn, which was mostly a field of dandelions at that point.
If you’ve never seen a Canada goose, I should inform you that they usually stand between a foot and two feet tall. I was amused when I realized that there were three Canada geese in the nearby field where I took the next photo; I think two of them were sitting down.
If you’ve never encountered a Canada goose, this is an appropriate distance – far away – as they’re not friendly and can be quite aggressive at times. I periodically see them on my walks around town, and occasionally have to alter my route because of them.
You should know that all geese are named Keith. One of my archery students — who is on the autism spectrum — told me this. She’s also one of the most hard-working students I ever taught.
When we had goldfish in a pond, they were all named Bob, so I’m perfectly fine with all geese being named Keith.
