We’ve had our bushes for many years and m the Fall their bright red leaves form a mce edging between the field and our driveway. The other day I was very surprised to see a pair of wild geese in my garden, just a few feet from the house, when I looked out my kitchen window. They even allowed us to take then picture. They’ve decided to stay here on the Conestoga and nest as I often hear and see them flying low over our meadow as they are disturbed by fishermen and hikers. They too are busy in their own way.
