We got dumped on yesterday with about 14 inches of snow!!!! It was NOT in the forecast at ALL! So we weren't ready for snow. Thankfully it was very light and fluffy so Steve was able to get out 3 times and clear the driveway. But now it's frigid outside and our pipes froze up this evening. GRRRRR!!! I kept telling him it would be really cold but I fell asleep in the afternoon and that's when they froze. So far no burst pipes so that's good. Don't know if he'll be able to get down and figure out where it's frozen with his injury but we're doing everything we can to get things taken care of.
And then as we were just starting our day this morning the geese were making horrible noises and we could tell that one was really in pain. There was an EAGLE that tried to take one of our geese!!!!! Poor things are so traumatized right now! They're huddling under the little bridge over the creek to their enclosure. Thankfully the goose wasn't badly hurt but it's got a coffee cup sized injury on its neck... Steve went out to give them some food and that goose was eating well so we're praying it is okay. Hopefully we can catch it tomorrow and get some neosporin on it. Seems that the ravens have found the eggs the one goose has been laying. They got into one the other day. So the ravens were trying to get to the eggs, the crows were following the ravens and the eagle must have come to investigate what was happening. The pond is frozen so it was easy for it to swoop down and grab the goose.
Steve ran out in his t-shirt and sweat pants with a gun thinking we'd probably have to kill the goose. But it was okay so he just let off a round to chase them all off. Now we have to keep a closer watch on them! This is the second year we've had the geese and last year we even had little Peep hatched and NEVER have ANY birds bothered them until now. Just crazy!!! At least the ermine hasn't been back!
Anyway, it's been quite busy here and I haven't had much time for scrapping. I started a layout but having trouble fitting the journaling on it. So need to figure that out so I can finish it.
Have a great Wednesday!
