Canada geese were still hanging out in our pasture yesterday after we irrigated Saturday. Seeing as how Fergus and Nigel hail from just outside Death Valley National Park in California, I wonder if they’ve ever seen geese before coming to Morning Bray Farm. Fergus seemed quite intrigued.
Poor Fergus. The geese didn’t seem quite as intrigued by him.
Wrapping things up from our 100th post celebration, Sandra asked to see what a Morning Bray Farm tote bag looks like. Here it is:
CeeCee asked us to explain how the boys had four very distinct emotions going on in the photo for that post. The answer: apple slices. ♥

Maybe Fergus was on a “wild goose chase”?

C,
Ha! I think he was!

You have a goose herder! How cute!
Oh, and I LOVE the tote! So cute and a perfect photo for it too…

Thanks, Michelle!

Love the video. C, that was hilarious!

Duffylou,
Glad you liked it.
When I saw C’s comment, it was a V8 moment.

I did notice in that pic that Ellsworth’s ears were back – was he ticked off that he was having to wait for his slice of the apple? Hope your weekend was good. I added you as a friend on FB!

Nancy,
Yes, that was definitely Ellsworth’s way of saying, “I’d like my apple slice now, Mom.” Hope your weekend was good too!

Awwww, he was sure trying his best to say ‘hello’, wasn’t he. Some geese can be so cold hearted!

Di,
I know, right?

Geese are notoriously hard to herd. I admire Fergus’ ‘stick to it ness’!
May 10, 2010 at 6:12 pm
TCUL,
We think Fergus did a great job.
May 10, 2010 at 8:05 am
Very cute post. My donkeys used to herd the chickens, then the wild bunnies. I love that your donkey boys are so calm and happy in their new loving home. You’re a good donkey mama.

Denise,
Thank you. And thank you for visiting.

It looks so nice and fresh and green. I don’t blame the geese for hanging around.
Even if they were being har-assed.
(sorry)

Cathy,
No apologies necessary. You are too funny.
May 10, 2010 at 9:06 am
I especially love the videos when there are the natural sounds in the background. It sounds like you have 40 gazillion song birds there.

georgie,
We do have our fair share. We love it!
May 10, 2010 at 9:14 am
Poor Fergus, the geese just didn’t want to play! Love the tote bag.
May 10, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Lilla,
He seemed pretty okay about it just moments later…
I loved how he was so gentle about it.
May 10, 2010 at 10:42 am
Thank you so much for the picture of the bag – it looks awesome!! The video is hilarious. I hope they enjoy themselves.
May 10, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Sandra,
You’re welcome! I think they’re definitely enjoying themselves.
May 10, 2010 at 10:54 am
How funny. I’m thinking that a donkey boy from the desert doesn’t want to share even one blade of green, green grass with the interlopers. “Move along now, move along. Nothing to eat here.”
May 10, 2010 at 6:15 pm
CeeCee,
As always, your comment made me smile.
May 10, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Looks you live in a very nice place! Love seeing the video and hearing the birds… so bucolic!
Thanks for your gentle comment on my Mother’s Day post. A belated Happy Mother’s Day to you too.

Love it!! My donks have never been given the chance to herd my geese. Might be a chance for some good entertainment from the looks of it
Also love the tote. Okayyyy, I will try apple slices again for my girls. I don’t know why they’ve never been interested in them before. Picky picky little girls!
