The last day at our old house and here's Marian with her last feeding of the little ones.
Harry and Sally, the geese were eating and a squirrel came in for a nut.
This feeding ritual played itself out every morning and evening for the last 3 years and now the time has arrived for us to leave. This was two weeks ago as we moved out to a new place.
There is a time for everything and a season for tears, just as there is a season for joy and we simply have to endure what it is that life throws at us. Yes, I know that at times it seems like the end of our world, but time is a great healer and such is life.
Hectic bonds were formed between us and the critters and much joy that we had with them.
A last laugh as the brave squirrel scampered past Harry the soldier.
Another squirrel came in to look around.
They are very fast so he gabbed a nut from her at speed and there he went around the pots to eat the nut.
Then he popped up for a drink at the bird bath.
5 doves, 2 squirrels and 2 geese in this photo below. See if you can see them all.
Sadly I had to leave the Aloe tree that I planted as it grew too big to be removed. Oh And I also had to leave my lines of river rocks.
So another chapter in our lives is closed and now in our new place Marian's tears for her little friends are slowly drying up. The new place has a much smaller garden and thankfully there are some small birds here that already keep her busy. But no more squirrels and no more geese.
Do I cry for them?
Yes, but I have learned to cry inside myself, as life has taught me to endure it's vagaries.
No, we will not go back there as I don't want to have an avalanche of tears again by my wife, but we are in contact with our ex neighbor who now feeds our little ones.
Such is life.
And That's All Friends.
