Buzz off buster
Based upon their loud and aggressive posturing that would.not.end until I reminded them that pooping on my deck was not included in the Complete and Unabridged Handbook of Canada Geese Mating Rituals (not even in the end notes), I’m guessing these are males establishing territorial rights over our back yard and some poor bedraggled female who just wants to be left alone with her morning ration of the neighbor’s corn and a warming sunbeam. She’s in for a long spring.

Chez moi, we’re preparing for a little road trip tomorrow. True to my neuroses, I’m packing enough stuff to last for a month. Not so much the clothes but all the projects that I’m convinced I’ll have time to complete. Balancing the checking account for the last two months. Reading three books. Making headway on four knitting projects.
And just in case we get caught in a late-season blizzard, here’s what I have packed for food for a 7-hour car ride.
- 6 oz of cheddar cheese, sliced.
- Crackers to match.
- 1.5 pounds of homemade trail mix (walnuts, pecans, almonds and dried fruit).
- Apple juice.
- 3 cans of diet soda.
- 8 oz of those little baby carrots that aren’t really baby carrots.
- A bag of Tootsie rolls.
- Half dozen clementines, peeled and ready to eat.
- Yogurt
- Water.
I hope we make it to the restaurant for lunch before starvation sets in.
Boys can be so annoying.
What will you eat on the way back? o.O

Is there room in the car for your snacks??? Have a wonderful safe trip. And, I’m with Cookie, what ya eating on the way home????
Road Trip!!!!!!!!
. Have fun and drive safe!
I am away from home, too, but I tried packing light. That is so overrated. I wish I had brought so much more.

Gus and Cleo need to earn their living and chase those geese away … or maybe Teddy needs to help out!
And with regards to all you packed, having sat on the side of the highway for four hours waiting for help (and Carrie and I wishing we had snacks and water, hard candy, ANYTHING) – I think you are smart!
Sounds like sensible precautions to me. But then again, I live in snow country where you could get stranded for a Very Long Time…
