We are Not Alone

 Look at this!



The cat is not reacting at all to something flying close to him.  Clear proof that both the cat and the flying object are space aliens!  Not only that.  Some outside power caused the clock on the trail camera to change...

The Thing about Geese

 Having happily kept ducks for a dozen years, I figured I have an affinity for waterfowl and adding geese seemed to be a reasonable thing to do.


Since geese eat grass, they are allowed to free range for most of the day.  The ducks, being smaller, are more vulnerable to predators and are not given the free-range option. 





Geese don't seem sensitive to the ducks' feelings about that, thus the ha ha ha-ha-ha strut.

- nocturnal

- related to the weasel

- dwell in burrows they dig themselves

Ground Hog Awakens

 There's a little hill where a groundhog dwells.  Each spring when he (or probably she) wakens, she digs a fresh exit from her den under the hill. 




With this opening is an invitation to a male to come in.



After consummation, he leaves.  




Till next year?
