So. so very sad.

 Clyde lost his mate.  Lola stopped eating. 

Lola on the right. 

Geese live for more than forty years. 

Clyde is inconsolable

They were so happy and for so many years. 

I'm going scouting this morning.  I've seen a few geese about town. 

There is only one problem; will Clyde accept a new friend. 

Stay well, be happy, 

Gina

What are they saying?

They come every year.

Some stay all winter,  some make plans. 

Lola and Clyde have to stay...they can't fly.

They will get cracked corn every day.  They don't have to forage. 

Have a great week dear friends, 

Gina 

Where is everybody?

Lola and Clyde came looking for me.  

How do they know that I am in the greenhouse?

They can't see it from the pond.

As soon as I let Pasha (on the left) out of the greenhouse, 

Lola and Clyde are waiting for me at the top of the steps.

Sometimes Pasha even gives each goose a hug ...

Pasha sleeps in the greenhouse.  The rest of the time he keeps us company.  
Soon the snow will melt and he will spend his days outside.  

The greenhouse is heated by the sun and gets additional heat when needed. 

They know I'm going to walk around the house with them so that they can have their favorite ground up corn.

They beat me to the trough. 

I have to stand there until Lola and Clyde have their fill. 

After that, it's a free for all.  

Spring is a long way off. 

Stay warm!
Gina
