Duck, duck … goose? Nope. This is more like the “Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck … kid, kid, kid … and a pond” game. Yeah, that’s it. Whatever way you look at it, it’s a pretty simple concept, just like that old Duck Duck Goose game.

With the hint of sun and tinge of milder weather these days, R-FH area people were popping up all over the great outdoors for a little fairer weather respite.
Kids, you’ll skate when … the pond freezes over! Yes, Rumson-Fair Haven folks, it’s cold outside! But it’s only cold enough when the pond truly freezes over. Hell is another story, depending on the pond and the skater.

It may be dank, damp and drizzly, but a sure sign that a rite of spring has taken hold came in the form of a family of Canada geese dilly dallying around their Schwenker’s Pond home in Fair Haven today.
Fair Havenite Sandi Richards von Pier spotted the parents and four babies taking a little trek around the Schwenker’s Pond area neighborhood.
She says they made their way up the hill from the pond, and onto Chestnut Street and into and around the neighborhood and back.
So, she greeted them and captured the family walk in a picture.
Well, the fertility that symbolizes the season is evident right here, even though there have always been complaints about the overpopulation and mess Canada geese leave behind.
