>The geese are still here and driving me nuts. They are in the lake outside my place and they are NOISY. Geese are only fun when they are someone else's problem... :o) The swans are here too - they live here permanently. They are not as noisy (although they can be) but they are sometimes a nuisance as well. beautiful to watch though...

The starlings from the neighbor's range aspirator duct have moved to the tumble dryer duct of the other neighbor. The wild pigeons seem to be rebuilding their nest in the fence between us and that neighbor. The bunnies were observed again, our garlic, onion, green peas, radish and cabbage are sprouting like crazy, several bushes of Turkish carnations are regrowing, roses are rapidly growing new branches, there's already one flower of daffodil, and some dandelions... springtime :). And to think that only ten days ago we had snow.
