Geese-- a reminder of the impending winter
I woke up this morning to the familiar sounds of geese squawking. To hear this sound while in bed reminded me of my parents house, in my twin bed on the weekend, trying to decide whether I should get up or not. The sound of geese usually does not appear in Southwest Louisiana until late-October... It's late August...
That's when I realized that the sound I was hearing was the beginning of geese flying south for the winter. In a few months, the same geese I heard this morning will be settling in the field outside of my Louisiana bedroom window, squawking until their little hearts are content. And in a few months I will be shivering my little booty off, wishing I was one of those geese I heard this morning.
My boyfriend and I can feel winter coming. It's sly, the little devil. It's still sunny alright, but the breeze— the breeze has a slight chill. It's almost teasing in a way.
The high on Friday was 72. Crazy for August, I know. I wore a long sleeve shirt tonight to see "Inglorious Basterds." These simple facts are the coming of winter.
The geese can feel it too, that's why they're flying the fuck out of here... I like-a to say, holy crap. Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy CRAP.
