While I was driving to the field to plant corn a goose with four tiny goslings crossed the road. Why did they cross the road? They crossed the road to get to the lake which was about twenty yards from the road. To get to the lake the goslings had to navigate heavy vegetation. Judging from their petite size I'm guessing they had just left the nest. The gander was still in the ditch opposite the lake.
Returning from planting corn the goose family were swimming in the lake near the shore. The trip from nest to water is a dangerous one for waterfowl that nest on the ground. The little fluff balls looked comfortable on the water.
The corn is planted let the germination begin. Hopefully there's enough moisture in the soil, don't call it dirt, to facilitate germination. Tire trouble is now a distant memory.

My less than modern corn planter.
