Chester has been hanging out with me while I’m cleaning up the back yard and what a help he has been. 😉 A good portion of the yard clean-up involves branches. I have a lot of trees in my yard and over the years branches have broken off and fallen or I have done pruning… Continue reading What a Help

Finally Some Babies
I was beginning to think that I wouldn’t be seeing any babies along the Red River this year, but the Canada Geese decided to parade some goslings by this morning while Chester and I were having our walk.
