Sorry for the interruption but I had to go to work. I love to go to work- that is not the problem- the problem is, as one patron said yesterday, having enough hours in the day to do everything. That is a cliche I know but it is true. Another colleague told me she lives to blog and it is hard to tear herself away to go to work. This is only my second day blogging but already I can see that this will become an issue for me. I have followers- I can’t believe this. I feel I have a responsibility to you now- all new to me.

I did want to share this photo I took at the library yesterday. There are actually four baby robins in that tiny and unkempt little nest in the eaves above our front door. The mother did dive bomb me when I took this picture. I am worrying about them now. Just as I am worrying about our injured goose. Day three and she is still here with her 3 companions. They will not leave her side. They tried to fly off the other day but she couldn’t make it over the tree line so they all came back to be with her. The wildlife center advised me to feed her to make it easier to capture her. If she is captured there are a few options- trying to splint her broken leg, amputating her leg, or euthanizing her. The other option is to let nature take its course and not capture her. I am opting for this right now though I am feeding her- a little.

I have been here before with Canada Geese. In fact I am writing about my experiences elsewhere. They are intelligent and loyal creatures who watch out for each other in a way that is really moving for me. A lot of people, golfers especially, don’t like them, but that is because they haven’t entered into a relationship with them. They never would of course. I am not a golfer. More later…
