This goose has been getting more and more in my face on my AM run. Today he blocked the path. I might have to fight him.

If this keeps going, I’ll have to make a separate Wanderwood thread.

We got a little snow that melted in the morning sun and then froze again.

Sounds good.

We tried to remove that thing. Dealt with the rusty bolts, and then found it’s still too heavy and awkward without cutting it off. Someday we may replace it with a bat box on a pole, but for now it’s a… … conversation piece?

A dish for Christmas.

Got the dark ring by deliberately overcooking the friction polish until the rag began to melt.

Happy several days after solstice, everyone. :slight_smile:


It stopped snowing about an hour before this was taken.

Those are all beautiful! If you have friends who knit or crochet, yarn bowls are very cool surprises.

Not what I was expecting but a good idea.

A friend of mine gave me a ceramic one. I always thought they were too fussy to use, but now that I have one I use it all the time. It really does make the yarn easier to manage, especially if you’re working from something that would otherwise wind up rolling all over the floor.

With the abatement of the holiday stress season, he’s off the path. Perhaps I don’t have to fight this goose.

Perhaps.

Perhaps he’s trying to push the boundaries and see where you won’t fight back. Perhaps he’s trying to test your weaknesses and see just how far he can get without opposable thumbs. Perhaps you let this slide and next thing you know, you’re getting shivved by a group of squirrels while you’re at the drinking fountain.

Toepunt the little bastard across the pond and show them all who’s boss. It’s the only way to be sure.

Well, the geese in the nearby big city park did mob my kid yesterday.

It was kind of her fault, though. She was holding bread instead of throwing it.
