This is not my picture, but I thought it was cool and so wanted to show it. This was taken about 60 miles north of me

Have a great weekend everyone!

There is an advantage to being 'old folk' - my life is one big weekend.

Morning! Breezy today....
Breezy, with a light and variable wind becoming west 16 to 21 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph.

See, baby stuff. Get work done day. Tomorrow is wrestling day. Thanks for the coffee.
DS$ is going down to the High School State Wrestling event with his coaches and do some mingling and scope things out in hopes of being there 3 years from now. He wants to meet some of the University scouts and get a feel for what they are looking for in a wrestler. I'm like okay..., sounds like a good plan, have fun and don't eat too much junk. The boy is working on some master plan for sure......

My plan for today is to fortify the chicken run from kitties, bad bad kitty!
Alright, chores NOW!

I was thinking they were snows . . . never seen them quite that thick, but geese can be found in pretty impressive numbers not too far from here if you know where to look.

Quote: Yeah, don't reckon they care much whether the "grass" they are eating is weeds or something someone planted.

20 years ago you never saw snow geese around here. Now periodically large flocks invade several areas around here. They fly in a more disorganized, noisy flock than the Canada geese.

I have heard it gets bad enough in Canada, that they set off explosives to scare the geese away. Those numbers can decimate a field.

OFW has I'm sure..........but you ever see what a flock of 25K geese can do to a field? It ain't pretty, especially if it's winter wheat for a harvest.......

we don't get them down here like we used to, but have had some great hunts over winter wheat fields, or rye fields......
