Apr 8

Funny thing this morning. I was here drinking my coffee, watching the horses graze in the morning sun. Then all of a sudden, two very large Canadian Geese landed in the meadow near the horses. They looked like two WW2 bombers lumbering into an airfield. Cinder looked up from his morning meal, ears alert, and watched these two frequent guests. When their landing was complete, he rolled his eyes as of to say..."show offs"..., and returned to grazing. Teddy on the other hand put on a slightly different display of protest. He stopped grazing, ears alert, and watched the arrival of what he thought was aliens from another planet. He snorted. He stomped his foot. He turned and looked towards the house, as if he might find some sort of support coming from the door that the humans walk through. He found no such support. He turned back towards these beasts that were for sure going to eat all of his grass. He just knows there is not enough to share with these gluttons who share the sky with the clouds. He tried snorting again. The geese ignored his protests. They simply wanted some of the same grass the horses were grazing. Teddy protested a little more. He gained enough support form his horse type companions and led them over to the barn....where it is safe. Those things won't dare go over there. So, one by one,...led by Teddy...the horses left. The two geese are still quietly grazing...alone.

Have a great day.
