I’ve never been to Canada but am well acquainted with their geese.
.
.
Seriously, these birds don’t play.

We love the noisy little devils and see them often in our part of Maine.
.

Because honestly, who needs ICE when you have geese?

A photo of our local ice fishing camp at sunset.
I have no desire to sit on a stool in a frozen shack and stare at a hole in the ice waiting for tiny, oily smelt to swim by, but it’s hard to argue with the optics.

Okay, I admit it. My husband came home from the “gift store” … aka the dump… with a treasure.
.
.
A brand new Star Wars Death Star cheese cutting set that we’re going to give to a friend who’s obsessed with the movies.
.
.
$86 at Macy’s and the husband got it for free.
He was grinning from ear to ear…. while I was horrified at the dangerous precedent this is going to set.
🥴

River's world..... 
I’ve been chased and pecked at by a mom goose with her brood off to the side. I had waited. I thought she said I could go. I was wrong.
Great find at the dump.
I don’t fish, but that is a very nice photo.

There’s a reason the Jack Daniel’s distillery has geese instead of guard dogs.

To preserve the friendship, maybe tell the friend it came from a thrift shop. Just don’t mention that it was a “free” thrift shop. *wink, wink*

Technically our dump “gift store” is a thrift shop…people donate things that are too good to throw out and residents are allowed to “shop” for free. It’s set up and run by volunteers who try to encourage recycling.
So no worries.

The geese are OK, but their poop! So many beaches and playing fields befouled ☹️
That’s a legit find from the dump. 👏🏼

I recall having to carry my children to and from the water once, as it was so hard to find a path without stepping in goose poop.

It’s gross. They absolutely ruined the beach at historic Walden Pond a few years ago.

WHAT?? He found that at the dump? What a score, that Death Star cheese board/tray is awesome! Also, I’m too far south to see Canadian geese, unless it’s Galloping and it’s the liquor, lol. Ice fishing is definitely a mystery to us in far west Texas.

Well, it’s our recycling center but volunteers have set up a little “gift store” inside where everything is free to residents. Clothes, tvs, furniture. You name it. My husband can’t resist.

Seagulls used to swoop in and steal bread out of our grocery bags when we waited for the ferry. They’re ruthless opportunists!

I love it! It has character. ☺️ I hope your friends know you prefer unicorns and fairies. 🤣 However, is cheese really worth all those knifes? Sorry, Indians mostly eat cottage cheese cut in small blocks and cooked in gravy. Vegetable knife works for us just perfectly in all events.
