In the last few days, we’ve had visitors in the garden. Some didn’t knock on the door, but they did leave their calling cards to let us know they came around.
Tidy work!
I can guess who made those holes, but what creature did the work below?
Did a bird strip these trunks bare?
Birds are always welcome in the garden. Ducks, too.
I think these mallards are just getting acquainted. But shouldn’t he be following her?
Other visitors are not welcome at all.
Oh, no, the Canada geese are back!
One pair would not be awful but a short time later, I spotted four more. And where six Canada geese gather together, more will certainly come.
The best visitors, though, were people who kept well away from my husband and me. We could hear them laughing, though — clearly they were having fun.
Can you tell what they are doing?
A close-up supplies the answer.
We bought this croquet set about forty years ago when we lived in England. It has served us well.
I have happy memories of playing croquet as a child and I am happy to see my daughter and her family following suit.
Did you play croquet as a child? Do you play it now?
