The Embden Goose family. My buddy Dan asked me to check on them this morning and I couldn’t find them. When I began calling they called back, turns out they were across the road behind this little hedge, and I saw their heads pop up. Characters. The white and grey youngsters are hybrids, the mom Toulouse and dad Embden. Pretty, these children. They need grass, which they can’t find at the pond, sadly, and they cross a very busy road several many times a day and take their lives in their wings each time…
