69th annual meeting for Wls has election reports contests Acton Free Press Wednesday Juno 3 1 told onto that to attract a all you have to do n make a noise like a crimped oat perhaps I could have discouraged their company if I could have made a noise like a saddle blanket but hey stuck lo me like large buns Fortunately for me we met the geese on tlic road going across the creek The five adults were herding lite five goslings along and woe to anything that came within biting distance The this I experience and left to pass them in a rush Poor Daisypony was the last to go by and a goose latched onto her tail and held on for a good hissing through clenched hill flapping wings and trying to Dai bo I torn By Wendy Thomson I never should have opened the front door so soon after biting the freezer lid In the freezer had found one bag of onions one head of lettuce and two rolls of toilet paper froen by mistake of course in the bottom of a box I had thought contained nothing but bread I was still muttering Stupid idiot to myself when I wont to let the cat out As soon as the door was open a great breeze smelling strongly of Balm of and Chokctlicrry blossom rushed in and in the trees themselves four Baltimore Orioles splashed the green After a brief mc consultation with myself we friendly as we walked down to decided I should take advantage of not having any youngsters home and go for a solitary walk Solitary walk It turned out to be anything but As soon as 1 opened the back door there was a stampede The hounds Kip and Sue were out first Sue bounced and twisted with excitement her old pappy just plodded along but with a gleam his Following them were the cats Five started out but the number gradually diminished as they became disgusted at Sues antics She would dash straight at them with huge bounds her ears inches from tip to tip flapping up and down so hard that she looked about to take off The cats bristled stood their ground and wouldnt chicken out Sue had to swerve and it was usually into catching mc just behind the knees Rip had long since left as Sue diving under him and biting his elbows She paid no mind to the fact that altho it was great fun when she was small now when shes almost as tall as he her shortcuts under him arc more than a little annoying As soon as Rip regained his composure and his feet he loped off into the swamp Finally only one cat remained Since she was in a family way bawled Sue out and told her to behave or be sent home She looked properly penitent and walked nicely till she turned a bend the path heard the thud of big feci then When I rounded the corner she was sitting quietly with a perplexed look on her face Then 1 notice that that the jet black dog had acquired a fluffy orange tail Prying her rear up found looking a little dazed and very indignant and thought of the joke about the man who had the tiger by the tail who hang on and let go That was Sues predicament too As soon as Mouser had room to coil she exploded from under the pup then they both headed off in different directions leaving me alone By then I had come to the pasture Ifld had any intentions of working with the horses there wouldnt have been one sight But when I wanted to be by myself all six were lining the fence trying to tell mc it was oat time and jostling to get in the best position They know that when Im easing between the two strands of electric fencing with a bucket of oats in each hand Im fairly vulnerable If they work it right they can dump both pails before Im halfway through As it was 1 told them No oats so scram but theyd decided to play it frtendlv and kept pushing and The horses had barely disappeared the hill when three mallards hearing all the honking circled and dropped into the pasture This intrusion was loo much for Mania goose She started chasing lie ducks down the fence line with her entourage waddling behind I was alone again sort of Light swallows kept darting by skimming the mosquitoes the top of the clover then one found a fluff of goose down and flew up high with it When he let go the others dove at it as it slowly drifted down till one caught it and it up again Alter a while I rcahcd they wcrcnl really trying to catch it at first They just it seeing how close to the ground they could let it fall before snapping it up again I sat and watched till I heard the school bus When Cord arrived alter I tried to look apologetic about the dishes not being done lie just looked lovingly exasperated and said I know The wind was blowing so went and sal on the hill Its ha WI reviews objectives Mrs
