When I got home from work tonight I knew that I needed to spend some time mowing the lawn. I just can’t believe that it’s growing the way it has! And I told Daryl if our hay is growing anything like the grass on our farm, we’re going to be millionaires!! Whoo Hoo!! But he said that the hay doesn’t grow like that and we’re both going to have to keep our day jobs. Oh well, it was worth a shot right? So I decided to mow the lawn only for 1 & 1/2 hours and then work on it more as the week goes on. After my time was up, I went for a run.
Now when I was on my run I kept hearing this noise and I knew it wasn’t the James Brown music that I was listening to either. Finally I saw what was going on. One of the farmers on my run had taken some of the corn out of the field for silage and now the field was filled with geese. I’ve been seeing a lot of geese lately flying south, and I guess this was a good spot to land and rest for awhile. They sure were making a lot of noise and it was pretty cool to see all of them flying in and out of the field. Since I’m not a very fast runner, I had quite a bit of time to check this whole situation out and it reminded me so much of the old George Jetson cartoons. In those cartoons the car planes (not sure what to call them) would be flying in and out and it was such a busy place. You didn’t know where to watch because there was so much going on. But in this field, some of the birds were flying in and others were just taking off. Now if you use your imagination you can kind of picture it -right? Well I kept running and finally I was on the home stretch to our farm. Then I could hear more geese and saw them over my head heading south. With the sun just setting over the corn fields it was pretty cool. But then, then all of a sudden the birds started to turn and eventually headed back into town. You know where they were going? They were going to that one farmer’s field. And if there ever was a party going on – I’m pretty sure it was going to be in that farmer’s field tonight!
