Thousands of Geese are adorning our southern skyline.
We must have a goose highway, because it looks like an endless line of geese. They are headed south and they are so high in the sky that I can't see them without my glasses. They are in focus, when I put my glasses on and there is a beauty of the silver linings on their wings as they fly in formation, down south to avoid the bitter cold that is coming. It is only 29 degrees, which is frigid for us and it is going up to the fifties. It is a comfortable place for people, but the geese, obviously have their sights on a warmer climate, probably Florida, by lunchtime.
When we first came down here those were the interests of my young fellows, but now, at 9 and thirteen, they pooh-pooh, their mother's bird stories.
The cows are just scenery to these two "Tom and Huck" characters in my life. I missed alot of their time, when I was working full time and now, I am picking up the pieces and trying to teach them the basic skills, getting out of the house with their clothes on and in tact, somewhat.
Homework is always a missing element. What didn't I sign or see? What report card?
They are a delightful pair and keep me on my toes, for sure. I can't grab one of the tails of the geese and be in Florida for lunch, but the two of them keep me excited about what is coming up next. ;)
Global Warming and Geese fleeing! Wonder if they will get stronger or not come all the way back North when its time. This weather is very different. We are in the 50's this week so as Grandma Ruth would say "Go Figure".
