During our morning coffee ritual on the front deck I was checking the mountain for our goats. Suspicious movement on one of the snowfields, I got out the telescope, and there they were. Wilhelm is back with his harem of nannies, and this year 4 kids. Haven't seen any of the youngsters from last year yet, they may have been evicted by the boss, but it's great to see the family survived the winter.
Lou is still enjoying his place in the boat, he doesn't like it to leave the dock without him aboard. The stick population of the island is diminishing, he brings a new one to the deck to chew up every day. Will have to each him to use a broom!
Still waiting for the sunshine to return, though the rain is good for the garden, the forests...and the mushrooms!

Hi Frank
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoy the Web Diary and use Google Maps to get an idea of where your lodge is and the other places you talk about.
We’re always amazed with the countryside, it’s pretty hard to explain how different it is from where we hunt and fish. I think it comes down to the water; everything looks so green where you are - we’ve finally seen the end of a 5 year drought here.
They are some healthy looking goats; ours are a little more ‘scrubby…’
One thing in common though is Lou, we have a Labrador too, though ours is a Chocolate - I’ll be loading up an image of him this weekend.
We’re planning to take a trip to Canada one day so we can see it all for ourselves.
Regards
