Deeks Or Geese

Saturday mornings on the Front Porch are always so quiet. The traffic noise is minimal and all the neighborhood seems to sleep in. While drinking a cup of hot tea, Phone, Camera and I were enjoying this peace and admiring the moon

when about 50 geese or duck... :) my head wants me to say deeks :) what the hey!, when about 50 geese or deeks flew over head making quite the commotion. Of course I, caught in mid sip, was too slow to cease sipping, put cup down, grab Camera and Phone, heave my girth off the Porch, ungracefully lumber to the street, find the quickly departing fowl, attempt to focus Camera on said fowl, to try and capture a decent evidentiary photo.

A pathetic picture. 3 blurry blobs. Stragglers flying through in a pink sunrise sky. Coulda been a decent picture. Woulda been a decent picture had Camera been in the hands of a faster moving expert photographer. The absence of the power lines would have been helpful, too. Wow, that's a lot of power lines. Never noticed them before. I think I would have had superb observational skills, if I had any. Anyway, just after the last of the deeks/geese flew past

I heard at least a dozen or more loud deep booms that led me to believe some of the deeks or geese just became someones dinner tonight. At least I hope they are someones dinner. Sport hunting seems such a waste to me. Combine the 'sport' with dinner and I have no issue. We all need sustenance. I have 2 questions rolling around my head after my deeks/geese encounter. First, were they deeks or geese? And second, without thinking to snap an evidentiary photo (blast it), was the entire deeks/geese encounter a clever ploy to move me away from my cup of tea so another kamikaze bug could dive in and drown?!?  HUMPHF!! Another perfectly delicious cup of tea down the drain. I thought bug season was over! HUMPHF!!

OBACE and the We-Guessers are in concurrence with regards the weather. 40°, 89% humidity, fair skies and calm winds. Another beautiful autumn morning. I hope your Autumn has been a great one and although we have another month of Autumn to go, I will pre-wish for you that your winter be great as well!! Vive bene, Spesso l'amore, Di risata molto, Travelers!!
