Yes, it is being Winter.  But the sun is coming out and it will all soon be gone.

Yes, yes, it is!

This week, our six month old Goslings (when do you call them geese?!) saw their first snow.  They seemed confused as to what all this chilly white stuff was.  They didnt’ like it that their little kiddie pond froze and they couldn’t paddle and float and duck their heads.

The picture is from the first snowfall over  a week ago.  It didn’t melt and has had three more snowfalls atop it since.  I am keeping the feather-heads mostly in their enclosure near the heat lamp, since night temps have been into the teens and it is very cold indeed.

Yeehaw.  Do you KNOW how hard it is to make a snow man with powder snow?  But we did prevail!  We gave him his bottle, his glass, his “I’m an important white guy” tie.  I “christened” him as George Dubya Bush with a wee bit of a vodka brand-named “Idol” since that is what he wanted to be instead of a responsible President.

Then I cursed him with my rose thorned wand to melt away into insignificance and ignominy like fading dirty snowmen do every winter all over the country.   Dwindle away you pathetic, damaging, imbecilic little man!
