You’ve been warned: I am grouchy. I could wait until tomorrow to blog under the assumption that I’ll feel better. And I probably will, since I don’t hold grievances tightly. Still, things I thought were handled have become unhandled.
There is a breach in the fence that surrounds the pond we live on, and this is a serious matter. The fence was installed a few years ago to keep geese from nesting on the water in spring and then staying through summer to raise their offspring. During those few months, they become an incredible nuisance. They eat the lawns, poop on the patios, squawk all times of day, and are impervious to the business end of a broom. They’re also federally protected, which means you can’t shoot them on a private pond, no matter what.
Once a couple geese find a great nesting place they return year after year after year along with their offspring. Who then have offspring too. Yesterday there were two geese checking out the pond. This morning there were eleven.
The breach needs to be fixed asap or we’ll be back where we were before the fence was installed. But only my husband, one other resident, and I lived here back then. So others aren’t as frantic about this issue as I am. Getting it resolved is an issue in itself, which is why I am grouchy this morning.
