Clouds and geese

[altivo]

The darkest clouds I can remember seeing in a long time. At least, since last spring or something. It was too warm to snow, but otherwise looked like it would have. It rained instead, just after sunset, and pretty hard. Still dribbling now.

As we came out of the library, there were hundreds of geese flying overhead. I estimate the total number we could see as something close to a thousand. More than eight large "vee" formations, flapping and honking their way toward about east southeast, looked like. Pretty, but another reminder of how late in the year it is.

Seems I have some sort of cold. Sneezy, runny eyes, and yes, tired early like last night. Whole weekend ahead with nothing scheduled other than routine chores. Yay. Time for Argos to make progress.

Well, it's not cold enough to bother me yet. We haven't lit the woodstove, for instance. The gloomy skies though, that can be kinda depressing if it keeps up for long. I actually wouldn't mind if it was going to snow and then the sun would come out after, but days on end of dark, dreary clouds and drizzle are just eeww.

Hoonnnk!

I've never tried goose. Are they heading south?
Hmm it sounds like you've got some kind of hayfever, it's often worse after a bit of rain.

Goose and grease start with the same letter for a reason, though the wild ones are probably tough and stringy as well. ;p Yes, it's time for them to head south, though what happens here is that the ones from Canada spend the winter in Illinois while the ones from Illinois go farther south for the season. We always have geese, just not the same ones.

I could say horses can't get hay fever, but Asher has it, sort of. No, this is definitely an infection type of thing with a sore throat and all that.
