Well, little Addy this is the second day of the rainy week here in Charolotte, NC. The goslings are now well equip with lots of beach gear, now that it is a regular thing to have water play, everyday. They have a floater and a beach ball and they wake up squawking to get in the water. Mother Goose has to help them to calm down and eat their breakfast. If it were up to them they wouldn’t even eat breakfast. They would just jump out of their trundle bed on the roof of our building, into the new pond that is there. I hope that they are not too disappointed next week when the water is all gone.
For the time being the little goslings are entertained from morning to night in the water of our newly made pond. My babies at the daycare are just the opposite. They are upset that the wetness keeps them inside. When we do go outside we must be careful of the wildlife leftovers from their water play. They are not a very neat family. Their mommy does her best to make them clean up behind themselves, but they often forget to do even the most important of things like washing and using the potty. We have to clean up behind them or the babies cannot go out there.
I am sure that you and Chacha don’t forget to use the potty or wash your hands, like the geese do. Do you?

Addison, sweetie,
It has been a whole day since the torrents that were upon us have dried and Mother Goose took no time off to dry her own feathers. It was time for the goslings to start their studies. She brushed and combed their feathers and placed them on their very best behavior to get them ready for the school bus to pick them up this morning.
The bus came on time and Jenny was afraid of the fog that engulfed our little town. Her mommy spanked her sharply and took no back talk from her little ones about their education. I had always heard that the geese were a strict breed of bird, but even I was crying at the severity of Mother goose and the tone she took with them. No one will accuse this goose family of being backward and “hootenanny”. That was all she said and she placed the three of them on that bus to school. Jenny goose was sobbing all the way. She sat next to another female goose and they became the swiftest of friends and her fear of the fog and upsetment with Mother gooses spanking became a quiet memory for the fun she was starting to have…
