The wife and I went to Cabelas and picked up my propane grill-smoker on special for $100. I had a $50 gift card from Christmas so the price was right. More on the smoker later.

Of course we are driving right past Penny's and the wife had printed off her coupons. So we stopped and got a few things on closeouts.

Anyway we were leaving and right in the middle of the parking plot was a 3' flower planter with a nesting goose in it with the male standing guard. The chicks were just hatching out. I had to stop and watch. Of course the wife is saying 'your going the wrong way', 'that's OK I'm standing still'. She didn't find it funny.
I couldn't believe they would have a nest right in the middle of a busy parking lot. But it won't be long and they will be moving on.
 
I keep running the geese off my pond that is still filling, dug last September. grass trying to grow and they just shit everywhere and are nasty when on the nest. hate for one to beat up one of my kids, unless they deserved it. lol
