Two days ago my blog was about the battle between Canadian geese and Anne Brandt (Me), who was grouchy and whined publicly about the situation and the need for help. I may appear mild-mannered, but I have high expectations and want things handled in a prompt fashion. In the case of the Canadian geese, it’s imperative!
I’m pleased to report that the whiner (Me again) was heard, and the breach in the fence was fixed yesterday. Perhaps it was the appearance of the eleven geese that triggered results; perhaps it was my panic. Regardless, the fence is fixed.
And this morning two very frustrated geese spent almost an hour staring at the breach that is no longer there, pecking at the replaced fence, and generally – if I may anthropomorphize them – scowling and swearing. Anne Brandt was ecstatic.
The geese will return a few more times to make sure they didn’t misunderstand, and then they’ll go elsewhere to nest. And Anne Brandt will have a wonderful summer, as will all the other pond residents, whether they realize they came thisclose to catastrophe or not.
Anne Brandt isn’t grouchy anymore.
