Actually she saw him flying above, squawking. Then he landed on the roof of the church.
He must spend a lot of time up there. Then MOM looked behind her, and this is what she saw.
Me eating carrots. Can you see the carrot tops on the ground by my paws? The 2nd thing I learned that day: I think the Hawk told on me as he flew by squawking.
The 3rd new thing I learned, how to pull up carrots. I saw how MOM did it and when she started weeding I got a little hungry so instead of bothering her, I just pulled up some carrots myself. I would pull up one eat it, then pull up another and eat it. They were tasty. Know what my MOM did? She just smiled and said "I'm glad you're eating your veggies. Guess that's why you are still going strong at 12 and 1/2. But I would be glad to wash them off for you." I told it was OK, the dirt added to the taste.
Yum Yum. Lip smacking goodness sitting right in front of me.
What to come over for dinner? There is plenty and I'd love to share.
Blessings,
Goose
My human friend likes carrots! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like the garden is doing very well. The bounty is just down a couple of carrots that you helped yourself to ;-)
ReplyDeleteCindy
P.S. I can't remember if I thanked you for your kind words and prayers for Nina. She is doing okay for now, but not out of the woods so keep the prayers coming.
Goose, yummies, I love carrots and how cool that you can just pick your own now. You are a big helper out there. That is a really pawsome bird.
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
We're on our way, Goose! We LOVE carrots and mom loves all that other stuff! It's cooler than 110 there, right?
ReplyDeleteBart and Ruby
PeeeeeeS: mom thought your mom might like this story: when mom was a kid she went to catholic mass every week. One Sunday it was really, really hot like it was today. When it came time for the sermon, the priest, who was wearing all those heavy vestments, got up to the pulpit and said, "if it's this hot here, imagine what he'll is like!". The end. He got down and finished saying mass! BOL!
Either you're getting rain or your mom is watering; your veggies look luscious. We see you've added a hawk to your staff to help you patrol for voles. Let him catch some; he doesn't have supplemental food available like you do. Abby is also a dedicated hunter, although she is more focused on chipmunks [and birds].
ReplyDeleteJed & Abby

I just adore the last two photos of you and the veggis, the colours are so wonderful and you look so happy and proud! I love that you are living with the land and its great that you can get such a good crop! Bow~Wow! Good job! Love from Frank xxxxxxx
ReplyDeletewow goose your really 12!!!! you dont look a day over 5 :) xxx
ReplyDeleteGoose your garden is doing very well and I'm sure it is all due to your weeding and tending and of course sample to make sure they are good enough for your Mom and of course we know a little dirt helps the fiber go down. You are 12 1/2...OMDs you don't look a day over 5...definitely the veggies and clean living

ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
What a beautiful bounty Goose!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lily Belle
I like carrots too, you can mess up the whole house if you shred only one of this orange guys...
ReplyDeleteWe would love to come over for dinner! Your garden had quite a bounty. We're still lamenting not having ours this year.
ReplyDeleteBunny
Those vegetables look awesome! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThats pretty funny Goose. We are sitting here chomping on a carrot from your garden as we read this. And last night we had some green peppers. My Vickie likes them raw and so do I so we just grabbed a few and watched tv while we ate. Then we had Ice Cream. You know. too much of a good thing (like veggis) well, ya gotta mix it with ice cream.
ReplyDeletesee ya tomorrow.
Bert
PS, Big Murphy is going to be staying with us the same tiem you are coming. I see a BIG PARTY coming on....
that is definitely one tasty platter - we will be right over!
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way right now! That looks like a yummy dinner indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow Goose you would never starve at your house, with all those veggies...dad brought in two little tomatoes this summer and that is all...good thing we have a farmers market or we would starve to death! Your mom is very handy!!
ReplyDeletestella rose (I don't like carrots)
Goose we hear it is good to learn something new every day and you succeeded. What a big help you are. Mom is lucky she has any veggies left, BOL
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
We are coming for dinner and Mom said she will bring a hose, and an extra long ladder, to wash the birdie poops off the church roof!
ReplyDeleteYour furiends,
Winston, Chloe and Cecil
Oh my our Mom is sitting here drooling over those vegetables. She is so jealous since we don't have a garden because our dirt is to hard to dig in and things don't grow well here. We are glad to meet you Goose. Our doggie, Jasmine loves carrots too. We are mostly cats here but we do have two dogs.One Australian Shepherd and a Border collie. Our silly Mom rescues cats. We also have two miniature donkeys. So good to meet you and hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteOMD Goose!! I would love to play in your garden...YUM!! I wish I lived closer, I would help you eat all those veggies!!
ReplyDelete~Higgins
Oh look at those beautiful vegetables!!! I miss you guys so much!!!! I miss seeing your great face Goose!!!! Wonderful garden!!
ReplyDeleteHey Goose!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous big hawk! Boy, your Mom must have really green thumbs 'cause that's a great crop. Personally I don't do veggies, but if someone played 80's Bon Jovi music in a garden, my Mom would live there! BOL
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
What a coincidence, Goose, because today mom & I stopped at a veggie stand and I was so excited by it that I rolled all over the ground hoping she'd buy some carrots for me but she didn't have any $$ with her! Glad you had your fill of carrots! Can I come over for dinner?
ReplyDeleteLove, Daisy
Wow, you have quite the haul of veggies - the makings of a great salad or a veggie soup maybe? Wish we could get there, we would love the carrots and Mom would just love to sink her teeth into those tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteNice hawk shots.
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Wow, those veggies look yummy! My bunny sister Lulu would love to try the carrots.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Now that's what I call BLESSINGS!!! Schatzie picked a watermelon from the garden last night--it was only the size of a softball, but she was so proud carrying it around like a prize.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be right over. Your veggies look so good!
ReplyDeleteRaccoons don't like 80's music? I'd never have guessed...
haha...you stole the carrots!
ReplyDeleteLooks like that bird likes to potty up there. Better bird train him. :)
Geesh! Too bad you got caught on the carrot thing. that hawk is such a tattletale. Your Momma's got some wonderful looking vegetables there! :)
ReplyDeleteHelloooo Goose ~ Yes I am sure the clues are in the top photo. It is easy just think! Maybe the animals in the garden know, they listen to the radio!! You should have been listening.
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot
That is so cool Goose! Purrhaps wes should plays 80s music and see of the bear goes away? What!?! The neighbors might not like music in the middle of the night?
ReplyDeleteWe forgots to plant any carrots. Daddy just pkanted them 2 weeks ago. We is hoping they will come before the snow.
Kisses to yous!
Nellie
Oh such a wonderful harvest of vegetables, amazing how beautiful it all is even with this crazy weather. Hilarious that you learned to pull up the carrots yourself, and grandma alway said carrots are good for your eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe silvers and more
Delicious choices Goose ! What did you drink with your veggies?
ReplyDeleteYour pals,
Murphy and Stanley
My mom is drooling over that bountiful harvest! She took care of our neighbors' tomato patch while they were out of town and they told her "be sure to pick and eat anything you'd like" and so she did. THEN they brought her a thank you gift. Mom said it's like she was thanked twice! HA roo!
ReplyDeleteThat hawk is one cool-looking dude, even if he is a tattle tale. Or tail.
Play bows,
Zim
PS: Are carrots like underground sticks?
It is good to know you could pick your own veggies if you ever needed to Goose. :)
