Going Going Soon Will Be Gone

There is a family of geese that I have been watching this summer at our neighborhood pond. It's a mom and dad with 6 babies....They were adorable to watch the parents escorting the little wads of fur around the area.....then they were just plain cute to see 2 proud geese with this flock of in betweens trying to grow into their new fur and bodies.....and now, I saw them today, and they look just like their parents....mom or dad (who knows which) escorted them up the hill, slowly, and then stood guard while they ate clover....I watched 6 little geese derrieres as they munched on clover and the parent stood guard.... It was adorable.....They will be gone soon, and I know it and they are missed already....It was nice to watch them this summer....
