7C this morning with a mix of sun and cloud. I think we'll have another pleasant day. Showers are expected for tomorrow though. Our sunrise was at 5:55.
Yesterday ( Sunday) we walked at Fish Trap Creek and saw the first goslings of the season!! No papa goose was present which was unusual. Mama was careful to keep her family some distance from us.
As we walked around the park we noticed this strange dead tree. To me it looked like some mythical creature.
So today ushers in the last few days of the month. We gained one hour and 40 minutes of daylight in April.
Thank you for all the lovely comments about my Amaryllis. Once the night time temperatures stay above 10C (50F) I'll move them onto the porch and continue watering and feeding them until about mid August when I quit that, They slowly dry up and become dormant. That's when I move them into a cool darkish area and ignore them for about 5 months. Then I take a few at a time to the sunroom, give them a good soaking, and wait for leaves or flower stalks to appear. It seems to work fairly well.
Thanks for coming by.
PS About the Impossible pie. The last slice finally got eaten today.
Dear Husband said it wasn't THAT bad. :))
I'm catching up.
ReplyDeleteYour amaryllis are beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial on how to keep them over and get them to rebloom.
I'm not near any water fowl so it's nice to see that the babies have arrives and the cycle of life is continuing.
I've made a note of your amaryllis care tips, thank you 😊
ReplyDeleteWoW, that really does look like a mythical creature. Kinda eerie for sure. The little goslings are so cute, Momma is taking good care of them.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet to see the babies!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be able to sit and observe the geese!
ReplyDeleteI do like the words in your last meme... I enjoy spending time in nature.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
PS Also meant to say I like the geese and goslings picture.

How lovely to see the family of Canada geese! The little goslings are so cute! Love your photos and the illustrations!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see the baby geese. Haven't seen any around the pond yet.
ReplyDeleteThe picture does look like some kind of mythical creature!!
Amaryllis require good attention and you obviously give it to yours. They are beautiful. Funny about the tree. Maybe it knows the dragon tree in NC :)
ReplyDeleteThat tree certainly does look like a creature of some sort. If you happened upon it in the dark it could be scary! That last. meme is spot on. The world is a scary place these days but God's beautiful creation calms my soul.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

Hi dear friend, thank you so much for your comment on my blog. Apparently the BMO has locations in the U.S. as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inormation about the Amaryllis. I will do so...
ReplyDeleteThis Mama goose with babies is adorable. Hope she will be successful - even without Papa goose . .
The impossible pie was possible! Good :)
Thank you for sharing how you care for your Amaryllis. I am going to copy that down and give it a try one more time.
ReplyDeleteLoved your husband's comment about the Pineapple Impossible Pie. :)
Oh, gosling are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe geese are a pleasure to see with their family. I only see them flying overhead around here.
ReplyDeleteYour "mythical creature" tree is quite spectacular! Straight out of a fantasy genre novel - I love it! The goslings sure are cute but it's wise to stay far away from Mama!

Sweet little ones! But where was Daddy? Maybe he two-timed her and has another family!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, that's why I no longer have an amaryllis. I would forget all those steps for sure. Definitely not a houseplants person, although I used to be.
So funny about the pie! Men are not as discerning, often, when it comes to food.
And yes, that most certainly is a mythical creature. Now I wonder what its bame is.
