Recently we were out and about in Magnolia and watched a little story unfold in front of our eyes. A flock of geese flew in over our heads. For a minute, it looked like they were going to land at our feet.

But instead, some settled on land nearby, and some decided to see how the water was.


The swimmers got whirled around as though they were in a washing machine

And eventually made their way to shore. All the while, the geese are calling to each other back and forth from water to shoreline as if they were playing the children’s game “Marco Polo”.

A single goose flew from the group on land to check on the swimmers. We felt as though this goose was saying “I’m telling Mom!”

The group was reunited after most of the swimmers came ashore and they took off for destinations unknown. Game over.
