We don’t have the backyard in our present house to put anything other than a patio set and a barbecue. It would be nice to have more room for things like playground swing sets or even a pool, but we’ll have to settle for the patio set for now.
In our previous house, we had plenty of room for such things though. There was a backyard playhouse as well as a pool. The only thing missing – as far as the kids are concerned anyway – was that swing set.
I just saw Mama Geese nesting on the same spot the other day. I don’t know if it’s same Geese I’ve seen every year. I can’t wait to see all those cute baby geese or gosling. I took pictures every time I visited the place and it’s usually in the morning when I have my short walk. The place is really nice for relaxing if you are looking for something that’s not crowded. In here you can be by yourself and enjoy the pond and the birds. By the way I need to go back there soon to find out if Mama Geese has the goslings already. I may have to take videos to document the lives of the goslings. I just adore them!
We left our last house without really taking full advantage of its larger backyard. It was left pretty much untouched by us from the previous owners who had added a few garden plots at the side and back. We really would have liked to have done more, but life does tend to get in the way.
One of the ideas that I came across recently was to have a pond and then have a backyard bridge spanning it – kind of like a miniature version of those bridges you might have seen in oriental style gardens.
I just woke up around 8 pm and found it is raining outside. I guess April is known for rainy months. Just last week we were still getting some snow and still feel cold. Well here comes month of May were the beautiful Tulips are blooming everywhere. I would love to go to a Tulip festival but I doubt it if I can find one here close to our town.
It’s been a while since hubby buy cigars. Actually it’s only for occasions. It’s very popular to use cigars for celebrations such us weddings, birth announcements, and etc. I remember it on my own wedding. Hubby has to go out of town just to find the best cigars. I know there different kinds of cigars. I know that macanudo cigars is also very popular. It can be pricey as well that’s why it’s only good celebrations.
It’s coming up the time of year around here when we start to see more creepy crawlers coming out of the grass and gardens as everything else wakes up for spring. This is good to see because it means that summer is around the corner and warmer weather. But it also means a lot of death and destruction – of the same creepy crawlers.
What I mean is that these creatures often end up in places where they are easy prey to passing bicycle tires, strollers, and foot traffic. We see the squished worms and snails commonly on the sidewalk on the way to school almost daily. The worms however, usually only appear after significant rains.
Perhaps seeing one of these poor creatures about to be snuffed out, I might take a few of them home and load them in with my worm composter and save at least some of them from such ignoble fate and put them to a more noble work.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen hospital workers in line at the local coffee shop waiting for their morning coffee. I know they are hospital workers because they will be wearing their dickies scrubs from the hospital – even though they’re probably not supposed to be wearing them outside of the hospital.
What they’re wearing does look very comfortable and sometimes even fashionable, I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised that they are reluctant to remove them or change into them before they get to the hospital. Now if only all of us had the same excuse to wear such comfortable fitting clothes.
Birds are all over the place right now since it’s already spring. It’s my hobby to take pictures of the birds but I am still learning how to shoot. Mind you it’s very hard to shoot especially birds in flight. Ducks and Geese are very easy to shoot though and I enjoy taking pictures of them. They are all over the river and ponds at this time.
