a little sad

A couple of months ago, I spotted a pair of Canadas wandering along the edge of the expressway I usually take on the way to work. It's a short stretch of expressway, but people do speed up once they turn onto it.

A couple of weeks ago, I was on the way to work when I spotted a spray of feathers on the road. It was one of the Canadas, killed by a car.

Now, most every day, I see the other Canada feeding or sitting by the side of the road. I know they supposedly mate for life, but it will find another goose to keep company with, won't it? Eventually?

It saddens me every time I see that poor thing.

afternoon fade

Just checked the radar. Looks as though rain is a couple of hours away, maybe less.

( Potting soil and herbs and flowers oh my! )

( cookie update )

I'm tired. Pups were out with me while I worked--they're asleep. Now I wait for the rain.

One funny thing happened at the vet. King and Gaby pile into the lobby, and there encountered a gangly puppy--may have been an Amstaff. Much nose-sniffing ensued. As I tried to pull my two away, the tech showed up to take us to an exam room. She was surprised to see Gaby, who wasn't scheduled for anything. I said that it was just for moral support, and tried to lead Gaby after King into the room. But Gaby planted and wouldn't come no matter how I pulled. That cracked up the puppy's owners. "That's moral support," the guy said.

Gaby followed eventually. They were both good puppies.

Last one into the boat, but still

Just watched the New Doctor.

I like him a lot.

I like Amelia, too.
