The geese are flying south. When I took the dog out this morning, I watched several batches of geese flying south. I’m not sure if this is their real trip, or if it is a practice, but for the sake of one small group, I hope it’s practice.
First, a group of about 20 went over my head, in a seemingly professional manner, one at the head honking directions, the others in perfect formation afterward. A few seconds later, a smaller group followed, only about 6 of them, but also behaving appropriately. Shortly afterward, another large group went on. It should be noted that all of these groups were traveling in a southwest direction.
“Happy trails”, I said to them all. “Travel safely”.
A few moments later, a squawky group of travelers passed overhead. There must have been some disagreement occurring, because a) they were extremely noisy, and b) while they were going south, it was much more southeast than southwest, so maybe their vacation home is in Florida, say, instead of Texas. Who knows?
Geese, wherever you’re going, have a safe trip, enjoy your vacation, and come back in the spring.
