Finally, summer has arrived. Well, maybe not. Our high yesterday of 31 and today of 28 makes you wonder what's happening with our local weather. These record-breaking temperatures are certainly not normal for this time of year in Winterpeg. Snow flurries ... yes. Heat waves ... no. But, no-one is complaining in our fair city. Meanwhile, the leaves are blowing in the wind and the geese are continuing their training flights.
A friend was telling me the other day of watching two flocks of geese during evening twilight, flying overhead. Through some miscommunication, on the parts of the leaders, the two flocks crashed into each other and there was more than the normal amount of loud honking going on. There were lots of ruffled feathers but no serious casualties. It reminded him of rush hour traffic and what can happen when some people aren't paying attention.
Maybe, the geese crashed because they were just confused by the heat ...
Our geese like to saunter onto the road and luckily the cars do not kill them. I found myself yelling at a couple of them yesterday- " get off the bloody road you stupid geese!" I like my walk but do not want to do mouth to mouth on a goose-not cool!
