Goosey, Goosey Gander...

Of all the Beatrix Potter characters,
Jemima Puddleduck is my favourite.
She is the one I identify with.
She sits on my scanner watching me blog..
saying
Oh you silly goose!

I'm sure I too would have been totally taken in by that Wily Fox.


This morning down at the lake
the geese were sleeping on the new safety rubber at the playground
until they saw me coming..


and they hurriedly waddled over in a most friendly manner,
as if they recognised me,
a goosey sort of friend.


Of course it's all just cupboard love.

Someone's been feeding them.


Oh yes!!
Today is an exciting day.   I'm off to Auckland to hear and meet Kaffe Fasset!

  3. Oh, I love Jemima Puddleduck. Wherever did she come from? She is adorable (as are the real things, hungry little ducks, aren't they?).

    Enjoy your trip to Aukland. Safe travel.

  5. How could you fail to smile looking into Jemima's sweet face? I love the geese, Joan. Did you come prepared for the goose assault?

    Have a fabulous trip!

  8. When we lived in Nairobi, Kenya, we had two geese (guard geese), Sit Up and Pull Up who loved each other very much. They had lots and lots and lots of children. We left Nairobi just before we ran out of lots of friends who loved geese!
