The start of the summer season

I had a lovely walk yesterday, birds were singing in the air, the sun was shining... We have a long Victoria Day weekend starting and I noticed a few people have already done or started their summer planting. Traditionally, this weekend is considered the start of a frost free summer season. A lot of people will be opening their summer cottages up north.

Summer Planting


There is a lot of development in the area and these geese seem a bit lost, wondering what happened to their watering grounds. A few of them have unfortunately become road kill.

Where's my habitat

We don't have Canadian geese over here, but we do have the Nene geese which are getting in the way of the airplanes these days.

Happy spring!!!
