Seriously, they do migrate to our area in the fall and we get to enjoy them all winter before they head back north again. The Canada Geese are a lot more sedentary.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-17109777384602692602021-01-03T10:00:53.217-06:002021-01-03T10:00:53.217-06:00Her words are indeed immortal and continue to insp...Her words are indeed immortal and continue to inspire and comfort us.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-50806706879305511522021-01-03T09:59:38.411-06:002021-01-03T09:59:38.411-06:00Especially in great numbers as they appear in wint...Especially in great numbers as they appear in winter.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-69335235934021226552021-01-03T09:15:44.576-06:002021-01-03T09:15:44.576-06:00Snow geese aren't something I find here, knowi...Snow geese aren't something I find here, knowingly - we do have lots and lots of Canada Geese, though.

If there is such a thing as immortality she has achieved it with her words, which come as close to perfection as it is possible to attain. And your comparison with the Snow Geese is very appropriate. I have seen such spectacles and they stir the soul. Thanks for starting off my Sunday on the right note, Dorothy. <br />David M.
