making way for geese (and ducklings)

March 9, 2012 by katieleigh

On our way to church last Sunday, J and I wondered why the car ahead of us was stopped at a green light, until we saw this:

I’m not sure if these guys came all the way from Canada, or were just on their way from the Fens back to the Charles River, but it made our whole morning to watch them waddle across the road.

Also, the ducklings in the Public Garden (who, if you didn’t know, are the stars of Robert McCloskey’s wonderful book), are ready for St. Patrick’s Day:

Happy Friday, all. I don’t think the balmy temps of the last two days (67 degrees! In early March!) will last through the weekend, but I am looking forward to some quiet time at home and some time with friends.

Happened on your blog a few weeks ago, and I really enjoy it. I am a retired children’s librarian so I especially loved this morning’s view of the precious ducklings in the park.

I love cities that “dress up” statues and the like. The lions outside the Art Institute in Chicago have received many a festive look, my favorite being White Sox gear after we won the 2005 World Series. I can’t recall Nashville doing anything similar but that just might mean I need to keep my eyes a little more open.

Love these pics! The ducklings are such fun. Their hats are fantastic!

I love those ducklings. It’s not spring until we’ve visited them 🙂
