Goose poop is a definite turn off! I want a swimming pool so badly, but it probably is not in the cards. I would love one however!
Ours is an above ground. After the kids go I'll probably opt for the pond. Do you put little fishies in there? Of course if I was rich I'd have a heated in ground salt water pool with a waterfall. The only problem with in the ground pools are the little mammals from the woods that drown in them. I rescued a bird from ours once. He was ok after he dried off. That's the only near tradgedy I've had.

lol - we had a bat get caught in the pool filter once. Poor little thing.
Mom was convinced we were all rabid because of that.
I occassionally like to foam at the mouth and growl at her. The look on her face amuses me. heh
(I'm told I have a bit of a mean streak - I don't see it.....)

LOL!!! Reminds me of the time when I was about 8 years old and was holding a small snapping turtle (small, I swear) up to my face saying something along the lines of "you wouldn't bite me, would you sweet little guy, would you???" when the little turd bit me square on the nose. My mom freaked out and took me to the hospital afraid that I might contract rabies. Even at my young age, I kept telling her "Turtles are not mammals!!" but as a good mom, she was not to be deterred...
These days a lot of puttering around.
Playing in the garden. Learning how to reload ammunition. Going shooting. Finding new places to take the family hiking. Reading. Writing. Reflecting. The last few years have been crazy, I'm enjoying the time to sit and reflect.
Sometimes doing nothing, is the most fun I have all week.

I put small fishies (koi) which have grown into large fishies. They have gotten large enough that they now eat frog legs... Yep, I regularly find tragic, sad little frog torsos in the bottom of the pond, all legs nibbled off. I hate it because I love frogs, but there is no way to prevent it!!

lol - Barbara!
Your mom is as bad as mine! Although, your mom took you to the dr. hmmm.....
I remember finding and playing with a snake (yes, I'm a tomboy and the son my parents always wanted but never had) when the snake bit me in front of mom, her first response was to 'Hurry up and take some asprin!!!"
She was (and is) fully convinced that asprin cures everything - including snakebite.
I kept trying to explain to her that the last thing I would want to do is take any chance of reducing clotting any more. If the snake was venomous, wouldn't the venom do enough of that without help from the asprin? BTW, he was just a bullsnake - no, not venonous. lol
I used to have a "pet" muskrat... yikes! He lived in the creek in our back yard and I'd go sit out back with lettuce, hot dogs, ext... and he would come up, eat out of my hand, crawl on my lap, etc... WHERE was my over protective mother THEN?? One day he got stuck in the chain link fence at the elementary school across the street and animal control came out, cut him loose and took the fat litte guy away - me crying hysterically the entire time "he's MINE - he's MINE!" Childhood can be so tramatic...
I don't even know what I would do if Tyler had a muskrat crawling all over him
We are going to get the biggest of the easy up type pools for next year. I would reallym love an in ground salt water pool...but one of those will have to do!
and he would come up, eat out of my hand, crawl on my lap, etc
Anyone else have Captain and Tenille stuck in their head right now? I keep thinking of those lens commercials where the woman doesn't know she's got raccoons instead of cats. Wow a pet muskrat...very different.
