This is an addition to my farm trip I talked about in my post yesterday. When I mentioned about my experience with the 3 geese, I forgot to mention that they seemed to make an alpaca nervous. They were right outside of the large enclosure where the alpaca was, so when I got to the alpaca, he/she ran away from me. With all the commotion with the geese, it didn't surprise me. :) And one of my dear readers said that the geese I encountered were Chinese geese. Let me just say that this is the second time I have encountered Chinese geese that were aggressive. A couple of years ago I was attacked by a Chinese gander (male goose), but this one was a gray one. However, this was before I understood their language. He came at me and grabbed my pant leg (jeans). Since he grabbed my jeans he didn't hurt me but I backed away and spoke softly to him saying, "It's O.K.". At this point he realized I "got" his message and backed off. LOL! :) After this incident I began to understand their language and thankfully have avoided attacks since that time. I also saw a little female donkey that enjoyed the petting I gave her. So sweet. :)
The videos I have chosen for this post are:

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. - Henry Ward Beecher
A self-centered life is miserable. The best in us blossoms joyfully and freely, when we serve others. Help, uplift, inspire, and live happily ever after.
We are all angels with only one wing and we can only fly by embracing one another. - Luciano de Crescenzo

I don't care for geese! I am glad you shared their language with me if I ever encounter some.

Like the kitty massage.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

I believe in the quote you wrote. "The best in us blossoms joyfully and freely, when we serve others. Help, uplift, inspire,..."
ReplyDeleteFunny first video. Have a wonderful weekend.
Statues are often used as a metaphor for "lifelessness." Not this one! Funny!
ReplyDeleteAnd those "Canadian street gangs" - now that's just plain frightening! I think I'd have to take another road...the road less traveled!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, I was just trying to imagine what it would be like driving along and meeting these bears.....................
ReplyDeleteThat sweet donkey made up for the goose encounter. Can't think of a better way to start my day, Linda. Love this collection!
ReplyDeletePlease can you teach me their language?
ReplyDeleteI am terrified of geese...and they seem to know it... they always chase me!
Such beautiful and positive quotes today, Linda...and believe me, they are just what I need right now.
Thank you so much.
Have a wonderful weekend! xoxoxo
Good happy morning Linda. Inner peace is very important for the everyday person. I loved the laugh but I often wondered what would happen if a joke like that affected an older person if had a weak heart. Jokes are OK to a point. I loved the Canadian Gangs. Have a wonderful and warm Saturday. See ya.

Oh wow, I would love to meet an alpaca in person! The animal is so cute! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWonderful videos. The little otter and kitty was adorable. Don't think I'd like to meet that many bears on a road I'm traveling. All the quotes were great. Have a blessed day and a wonderful weekend. Madeline
ReplyDeletei haven't had encounters with aggressive geese before, my grandmother used to tell me to always be careful when wandering around geese, cos you never know when their mood can turn!
ReplyDeleteThe otter and kitten are precious! Very cute video.
ReplyDeleteThe gag was fun! Love the quote from Henry Ward Beecher!
ReplyDeleteTout est bien joli Linda. Merci pour ces beaux partages.
ReplyDeleteJe te souhaite une belle fin de semaine. Bisous
Hmmm, Chinese geese sound like they have the same temperment as Siamese cats. They are rather on the vicious side and give me the creeps.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day Linda.
The otter and kitten video is cute. I was watching a documentary series on unlikely friendships between animals, including a cat and an owl.
ReplyDeleteLovely post again :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome post and I love the story about the geese. You speak their language :)
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet otter video:)
ReplyDeleteIt is good that you learn the geese talk:)
ReplyDeleteThe oter and the kitten are so sweet:)

The video of the kitten and the otter is adorable.
ReplyDeletej'aime bien "meanwhile in Canada" Linda
ReplyDeletegreetings

Loving these soul-filled Saturdays. Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Living statue..., it happens in Bruges as well, Linda... ! Hahaaa..., but sometimes scary.
ReplyDeleteLoved it Linda, especially the moving statue and the otter plus kitten . . . :)
ReplyDeleteI used to keep a pair of Chinese geese (the grey type) in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteThey made a lot of noise when they saw strangers. :)
Oh, I seem to be getting later and later in visiting your blog, at this rate, I will be visiting tomorrow's at some stage (OK, I just confused myself there).
ReplyDeleteI love farm animals and can still remember the time I met my first alpaca - their sweet faces enchant me. I steer well clear of the geese though!
cute drawing of the cats and the rat
ReplyDeleteI don't know what kind they were, but all of the geese I have ever been around were very aggressive--regardless of being alone or in a gaggle.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour ce beau moment Linda, bon dimanche tout doux!
ReplyDeleteExotic Looni Tea...I would like to have a sip of that...but where can I find the dried limes? I enjoyed the music and video of 'Thirsty for...' (almost) always.
ReplyDeleteLoveable otter and the kitten! Turkish lullaby is so mesmerizing! Nice post!
