It's raining but they don't mind

I know it's good for the earth, the pasture, the hayfield.




I know the rain is good for the ponds and brooks and rhubarb patch.





I don't know if it's good for babies, but these two don't seem to mind.




We did not know we had a gander before this. Gender is not as obvious as with other birds.

The proof appeared this morning, and a welcome sight! The arrival of this new life is timely, somehow balancing the recent loss of life within my sphere of friendships.

Thank you, young goslings!
