Always there is part of me that wants to jump up and follow the migrating birds. The other part of me knows they start the weather changing and I get very busy storing my acorns. Well written Michelle😃
So true, right? That fall nip in the air really trips the firewood, put food up wire. But I do still dream of the flyway. Thanks for reading and for your lovely comments. 💚
Great story Michelle, so visual! The geese started here a couple of weeks ago...early everyone says so we're probably looking at early winter. The water situation here is the same...back to micro showers and bucket-baths.
Early winter is a good guess. We are getting our first winter weather pattern this coming weekend - early to be sure. Sorry to hear you all are in drought up there too. Seems odd, you being so near a massive lake. Wishing you a cozy winter 💖
I hear Judy Collins voice singing... "Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?" Your essay is achingly lovely, just like this song. Thanks, Michelle, for another glimpse of your beautiful soul.
Wow! I lived for many years in Montreal, Canada, and we would watch those geese, your geese move across the skies - and wait for them to come back at the end of winter. I never thought about them in this way. Very moving.
Another great story Michelle thank you 🙏
Thanks Mikey, I really appreciate the read and your good words. Thanks for being here ❤️

Not so much drought but levels dropping, aquifers drying up, yes weird stuff...
Great story and visuals...love the Geese on a tin roof - Chevron flight is one of those mystic forms - always gets me. Great writing!!
Thanks for reading and for the good words! Yes, there is something very mystical about those flyers.
So beautiful, happy fall!
Happy Fall and Harvest to you as well Louisa! Thanks for taking time out to read :)

I love this story Michelle. The turkey vultures are beginning to gather also. I love fall!!
Thanks Mom! Yes, that is another totally magical autumn event in the valley that deserves its own article :)
Very Lovely - my dear.
