very cute. They are good, protective parents.
There were a couple of times this summer when I was in a traffic jam caused by geese crossing the road. I must say that it is really encouraging to know that the majority of people around here actually stop and wait a while for geese to cross the road. One time I counted 20 geese, and they all crossed single file across a busy main road while we all waited.
These are not real geese but an older gentleman and his wife have a display set up in their yard every year and they change it weekly. They'll have the geese set up around a table for Thanksgiving, on a moving ferris wheel and other things for the fall fair such as the food booth, tractor pull, etc., golf scenario around the time of the Canadian Open, boat races, soccer - anyway this is one for back to school week.
