chillin'Topic: A family of geese
The weather was clear and sunny; it was hot, actually hot. Ashy and I both got in the river. I dunked my hair, but it was too chilly for the head. I sat there awhile in the bright glow of sunlight from everywhere--above me in a blue sky, and at eye level in a rippling, sparkling green river.
A family of geese floated in a little nook in the river. The pair was ever vigilant of it's brood--must have been at least ten fuzzy moss-colored younguns. I hated to think how mny of these would not make it to maturity. But mom and dad will keep them all safe. They were wary of ashy, that he might get over the river to them. Then they nestled into a grassy mound for awhile. Two long necks and beaks ever
periscoping the environs. Bless us one and all, Mother Nature.
