Ok, I have always wanted to mow a Mona Lisa. I know you are confused but let me explain. May years ago I worked in the Bay Area and if you drove down the highway on the way to Fremont someone had carved out of a field up on the hill, an illustration of the Mona Lisa. Consequently, I have always wanted to mow a Mona Lisa in my front lawn area. I have included a a photo. Yes, I need more practice and yes she does resemble an Alien, but please give more time. 
 
Ok, she's back. The mother goose has apparently disregarded the threat of the Hawk nest and has laid about 8 eggs in her old spot. Today she covered the eggs up and joined her spouse in the neighbors pond. At the same time there were 2 other geese out front admiring the Mona Lisa when our new mom and her spouse, came flying over to chase them away. I assume it is because they want the Lisa untouched until her children are born, so the little geese can admire such great art.
 
At least something appreciates great art.

Ok, I am 72 years old, and I suddenly realize I can’t tell the difference between a cricket and a frog croak.

Is this the first (or last) sign of dementia? I just think it’s weird that when all the frogs stop croaking, I don’t hear a single cricket. Maybe they’re in cahoots with each other. It just seems odd that I wouldn’t hear anything.

Oh, and if you think this is a sign of dementia, you don’t have to tell me—I’m sure my wife will.

Oh, and I see now why the geese decided not to build their nest on top of my woodpile. Directly above them is a hawk’s nest. Smart geese.

Here are a couple of photos.

Ok, so I am disappointed because I lost a tenant. Mind you they never paid rent, but I am still disappointed. 

The geese family have come several times to look over their past rental property, but apparently have moved on. I have tried to entice them by cleaning up the area around it, because I was afraid that they thought it was a low income area, so I was trying to make it look more upscale. I was going to add some natural calling sounds like a water fall, and some attractive decoys.

Obviously, the neighbors pond is much nicer, but, what are you going to do.

I know, I will play some goose lounging music. 

I will keep you abreast of this.
