evening musings

I walked out on the back porch last night to check the weather. I could see snowflakes glistening in the pool of light under the street lamp. I stood there awhile, in the cold, enjoying the glittering snow when I heard a flock of geese. Well of course I tipped my head back to locate them. Duh. It was overcast, the moon was fuzzy looking, so all I could do was track thier sounds.
So, the question is: were they gathering to go south or are they a local group? Whatever the answer, it was enjoyable listening to them.
