Daffodils! A sure sign that spring is on its way<\/p><\/div>\n

So, it seems like people like to talk about the weather a lot, and nobody does anything about it.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s what they tell me, anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 Me, being a Doberman, I don’t really give the weather a lot of thought. (except really HOT weather.\u00c2\u00a0 Not a fan.)<\/p>\n

But!\u00c2\u00a0 I can tell that the weather is changing, and spring is really just around the corner.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve had some really windy days here on Lake Union (you pilot-types would be interested to know that means about 15-20kts of wind.)\u00c2\u00a0 Rain comes and goes, and we’ve even had some hail.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sun, though, is shining–sometimes–and sunset is coming later and later. And the air is warming up!<\/p>\n

What else does spring bring to the lake?\u00c2\u00a0 Why, birds of course!<\/p>\n

My nemeses (plural of ‘nemesis’) are the Canada geese who frequent the lake.\u00c2\u00a0 They swoop in, honk at me, look cross-eyed, and then, er, “do their business” all over the dock.\u00c2\u00a0 That is, if I don’t catch ’em first!!!<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of me in a standoff with my geese foes.<\/p>\n

Standoff!<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please, come see <\/a>our flowers as they’re blooming, and save me from the geese!<\/p>\n

Hey! This is my dock!<\/p><\/div>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
