Barkly and the geese




Tiny Barkly greeted me while I was taking photos of the local flowers...dandy they were too!  There were no geese around.




Later (you've already heard the story of the 3 ducks) I also had some other friends who were quite well behaved...Canada Geese. Of course they're well behaved. And they didn't say a thing about whether they'd eat American grass or not.




There are two free libraries, one for adults, one for children's books.




I guess someone is reading all the adult books. Mmm, have to see if I have any to donate!


The good news is that the lake is again full of water. The bad news is that there was a dead duck by the side of it the other day. I guess it's gone to be tested to see if it had bird-flu.

An essential part of being receptive is to soften our barriers enough to let new possibilities in when they show up.

    1. well, I do have friends who take books over to donate and maybe read, while others are tourists who find time on their hands...or just love sitting by the lake reading!

    1. Nope, and the other prom dresses have pushed the envelope on her sisters as well. But sometimes they go for the long split skirt looks.

  5. I thought the decorated library was the one for children, it's so cute.
    The geese, well, gotta eat something!
    Your granddaughter is beautiful, but yeah, that dress. Why do girls want to show so much skin these days? Guess I am just old-fashioned, but the long evening gowns look so elegant to me.
    Love Maurice Sendak's books, so imaginative.

    1. You're right, decorated is childrens, plain is adults'. Maurice Sendak has some great art to go with his stories. Yep on dresses for young girls. I swear I thought I was keeping up with fashion as a teen...but it sure wasn't handkerchief clothes!

    I like the idea of those libraries. We have one outside our municipal offices!

  7. Barkley is pretty adorable. Sure hope the duck didn't have the avian flu.

  12. Hello :)
    Your daughter and granddaughter are both beautiful women. Barkly is cute and it was nice to see the ducks and geese. I love the idea of those free libraries. We have nothing like them here in Portugal.

  13. Barkly is such an adorable dog. Nice seeing the geese and ducks. We have some of those free libraries and usually check them out occasionally to see if there are some interesting books. That's is a wonderful photo of your granddaughter and daughter.
