Spring Snapshots


Bouquets on the regular.


Zoe appears and tolerates some loving.





Our daily walks are perfumed!  There are so many honeysuckle blossoms that most bushes look stripped - white/yellow and green alternating rows.  The aroma is so strong that it reminds me of passing a heavily perfumed woman on the street (in a nice way).



More tracking.  We've added goose tracks to our list (which also includes: dogs, 'adult' shoe, bike, deer, and squirrel).


Yay for the goslings!  We've been check out the ponds twice a day waiting for these little guys.  Owen was so excited about our first sighting...he came home exclaiming that we saw a 'wriggly yellow pile of babies!'  The geese have been especially protective this year.  One father swam about 50 feet towards us (and we were still another 100 feet away, up a hill) to warn us to back away from the mother's nest.  It's provided a great context to talk about how fathers stand guard and protect their families.  Those geese aren't joking around!


And the climbing continues.
