Garden Goose

The goose got into the garden a couple of weeks ago, and ate all the leaves off of the broccoli and some other plants. When he started out the evening he was just eating the leaves off the Brocco-flower, but since no one liked it we just let him eat, figuring that he'd get tired and leave. The next morning dad got up, and Heathcliff had apparently been eating all nigth, and he had eaten almost all the leaves off the plants. So we chased him out, so that the garden could finish growing. Then monday we harvested the last of the broccoli, then opened the gate so that the goose could finish eating the garden. He's been having fun the last couple of days. Now he's moved onto the brussel sprouts. He even sleeps in the garden. :)



When I went out to try and take pictures of him sleeping under the brussel sprouts, he jumped up and tried to pretend he wasn't doing anything, and ran over away from the plants. He's very funny.

I love the top two pictures of the goose in the garden...such vibrant colors. How funny that he liked the broccoli and other veggies. It was funny to think of him sleeping in the garden. :)

good ol' Heath Cliff.

My in-laws have been having bears in their apple trees at night. Bears have been pretty active in Southeast Idaho and in Teton National Park this year actually.

Love you guys. - P
