RE: Lady Chatsworth News

Jesse, I'm so sorry.  Keep the faith, though.  The Canadian Geese up here do
not let such things deter them.  They immediately build new nests and start
the laying process all over again.  I'm hoping that will work for Lady
Chatsworth too.

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Well....that is EXACTLY what happened. Her nest (this being her first
year) was not in the safest place. When I went to check on the eggs last
night they were all GONE and her nest was destroyed. I cried. Dang it. I
know she will rebuild somewhere else...I just hope it's in a safer PLACE
this time. I was just crushed.
