This morning, on the way to school, Princess TalksWithHerHands and I stopped at the park
to see the ducklings & goslings.

We found the ones we wanted and got out of the car to see if we could get pictures. We approached the Canada geese we were after when this white goose saw us and came charging across the grass toward us. Knowing that ducks and geese will attack if threatened, Gillian yelped and took
off running. The duck chased her for a minute or so while I was making pictures.

It chased her in and out of the grass and up and down the road. All the time, she was laughing and yelping and the goose's feet were going slap-slap-slap on the pavement. Did you know that a goose can run pretty fast? I kept yelling for d to run toward me or away from me while I made pictures. And the silly girl followed my directions.

The goose did take a look at me, at one point, and followed me for a few steps before turning it's attention back to G. Then the two of them continued running across grass and up and
down the paved road. The ducks feet kept going slap-slap-slap on the pavement. It was hysterical. Gillian was laughing about it.

What made it even strange was knowing that I was the person closest to the goslings. I was within a few feet of them and the parents didn't bother me but "Jemima Puddleduck" was not going to be content until she ran my d off.

I hope I got good pictures.

I haven't laughed so hard in years.

The little (unexpected) moments are the best - aren't they?

Make sure to get Peachy to meet you in Atl.

Princess, I wish there were some way I could see those photos! It sounds so funny.

LOL..life can be great.

I hope you got good pix. Do you scrapbook as well as knit? Did you get your throws finished?

What a great story, if possible would be nice to see the pictures. I would of laughed so hard, and to think you were by the babies and weren't bothered.

4 shots left on that roll of film now. I think I will just go ahead and get it processed. Maybe I can find someone with a scanner. Oh, I know. A man at church has one and would gladly do it for me.

I am trying to see if Peachy and I can meet up. Gotta find my sheet with details about the trip.

Gotta pack. How hard can it be. Gone one night. Will wear the official T shirt on the day at 6 Flags.

Got one throw half finished. It was trapezoidal so I took it all out. It's now 4' wide and 8" long. Will work on it this weekend. I've figured out that each throw will be about 10 skiens big. At $7 a skein, that's a lot of money for 3 throws.

Currently more obsessed by knitting.
