Cement Lawn Geese of Lenawee County Calendar
When Kathy and I were living in Adrian, Michigan, as west-coasters, we couldn't help but notice and marvel at the large number of lawn geese, many of them dressed in elaborate costumes that changed with the season. (This is not uncommon -- you'll note that Gooseduds.com sells its clothing in collections according to season.)
For years now, we've been talking about making a calendar, "The Cement Lawn Geese of Lenawee County" using pictures that we took of the various geese in their Santa outfits, football outfits, hunting outfits, bunny suits, etc.
Kathy, I can't remember -- did you give me copies of the photos? Or did I have some? It's time for me to get a 2007 calendar and I'm thinking of finally making one using iPhoto.
Someone also needs to make a lot more contributions to the flickr pool on cement geese.
(This picture of the incredibly anthropomorphic front yard is from the 2000 cover of "Good News" by the way, which was kind of like the Portland Mercury, only with less smut and bands and more geese and coupons. I took a picture of it when I visited Kathy in New York -- thank goodness she keeps this kind of thing around!)
