Geese!

These were guarding our employee entrance this morning when I got to work (and yes, I have been chased by geese before, with their ridged beaks that feel like teeth, so I gave them a wide berth.) I wonder if we'll have goslings soon? I have to admit, while I can definitely tell the difference between male and female Mallard ducks, Canadian geese bewilder me in terms of which one is the goose, and which is the gander, so I don't know if this is a opposite-sex pair or not. :) Anybody know?

Update

Thanksgiving dinner has been postponed till Saturday, tomorrow I'm going to go get a friend's meds and we're going to watch Inside Out, Sunday there will be no game. Today I've spent time with my friends, reading to the one who's been in bed most of the day trying to keep ahead of the pain left from his procedure. Also, my other friend and I went for a nice walk with one of the dogs, who was very excited when she saw ducks in the pond, but fairly indifferent when she encountered geese. The only problem with walk was that the entire asphalt circuit was covered in piles of what I surmise to be goose poop, so we really had to watch where we were going. Anyway, it was a restful and pleasant day. I have some things to do here at home, but I'm going to take a short nap first, since I didn't sleep well last night.

Anyway, if you celebrated Thanksgiving on, well, Thanksgiving, then I hope you had a safe and happy one with loved ones.

I went to the dentist today

for two temporary crowns. One of the nice things about Dr Stech's office is that it is in front of a pond and they get lots of geese and other birds there. The geese had goslings earlier this year, but they're adolescents now. Here's a parent....
