Part sentimental, and hilarious at the same time. Your style makes it's way into the reader's heart. Looking forward to more.

observing and learning animal behavior is so fun! Thank you for sharing your insights. We love our wild geese who nibble our grass. We have about 80, until Spring when they leave to mate. Then they return to our land, once a farm (since 1902) still zoned agland and we are "re-wilding".

Sounds like a worthy endeavor. We had a farm in Ontario for about 6 years. The house was built in 1850. Some of the best years of our lives were lived on that farm.

Consult? I eagerly advise from my extensive history of flying by the seat of my pants and lessons learned from my many mistakes. I would love to assist you in any way I can in "re-wilding" your land. Now you've got me thinking about one farm in particular (we've had three) I think you've just inspired an essay!

Right on! I write a little about the farm with plans for more- I am on the road working in different ecosystems. Perhaps you would like to be a guest writer on Wildlands and share your "Robin inspired" essay. Would love to have you- Wildlands is growing well.
