One down.... Three to go (and a golf ball) -





I heard a huge ruckus at about 12AM last night. I went out to find one of the babies almost all the way out of it's shell! With all of the noise, I half expected the father to be handing out cigars. He hasn't left her side, keeping diligent guard.
These pictures were taken at 6AM this morning. I amazed at how nimble this little one is already. They let me sit right next to them for about an hour this morning, even touching the silky new feathers - quite a humbling experience.
Goose still has 3 eggs and a golf ball underneath her. She's working hard to keep them turned and covered, while making room for her baby to keep warm. Another one of the shells is cracked, so we'll see what the day holds~

Although your comments may indeed be interesting, this is hardly the place. A simple link would suffice.

How are things in the great Northwest Mr. Frick. Anything of interest happening with your little one?

Your original comments will no longer be censored. It was done in haste without regard to its content, the LI apologizes.


When you cant find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars aint shinin bright
And you fill like youve lost youre way
When the candle lights of home
Burn so very far away
Well you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
He used to say soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Hey now people dont mind
We all get this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
I grew up thinkin that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
But life can take the strongest man
And make him feel so alone
Now and then I feel a cold wind
Blowin through my achin bones
I think back to what my daddy said
He said Boy, in the darkness before the dawn
Let your soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshne
Damn sure better than rain
Yeah now people dont mind
We all get this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this
And when your world seems cold
You got to let your spirit take control
Let your soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshne
Damn sure better than rain
Lord now people dont mind
We all get this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
Oh, its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshne
Damn sure better than rain
Yeah now people dont mind
We all get this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day...
