Ramble with Storm: Goslings

Mulling things on my morning ramble

with Storm, the family’s mixed Lab.

Well, the geese on the island weren’t on their nest yesterday morning. So I started looking around.

Out in the main part of the south town pond, I found the pair of them protectively flanking goslings.

I counted five or six.

If my memory is right, that is pretty close to normal hatching date, maybe a couple days later than usual.

Wild April weather or not, the marks of the seasons march on.

This morning, another one of the nesting pairs was swimming with goslings.

I am curious if the usual seven pairs nested around the town pond or not.

I’ll know in a few days.

Odd morning. The sun was shining. Showers are in the forecast.

Dosunmu’s efforts in the Bulls’ previous two games were pivotal in securing the team’s first winning streak this season. He averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 assists, three rebounds and 2.5 steals.
The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 8. The majority of the league becomes tradable Dec. 15, when free-agent contracts signed in the summer can be moved. That means LaVine might have played his final game for the Bulls.
MLB
San Diego received right-handed pitchers Michael King, Jhony Brito, Randy Vásquez and Drew Thorpe along with catcher Kyle Higashioka. In addition to Soto, the Yankees get Gold Glove center fielder Trent Grisham.
