The Return Of My Minions

Something funny happened to me today. Let me give you a little history first to explain what's going on here. I wrote the final post awhile ago about some geese that were born in the lake I frequently visit.

I joked about teasing them by throwing things in the water so they would come over and beg for food. I wrote the goofy post saying they were now my evil minions. That must have been kind of a mistake because they left and that was the last time I ever saw them. You can read about that here: Teasing The Geese - Conclusion

Now we come to today, and I went to the lake where those geese liked to gather, and there was a group of geese that was about the same size as my old minions. I thought of my old friends as soon as I saw this new group. Can you guess what happened as soon as I got to the viewing platform?

As soon as the geese saw me they came swimming eagerly in my direction. They wanted something from me! I'm sure they had learned to look for food, just like the old geese. But maybe it was something else. Could it be that my minions had returned?

Maybe these were my old friends and they recognized me. After all, I had been seeing them at least twice a week for their whole lives. Maybe they had come to greet an old friend. This little flock sure did look the same as the others. It was about the same size as the old ones.

I have no other way to tell if this is the same flock of geese I first saw when they were still eggs, but I like to think they were. Maybe they came back for a visit. It gave me a good feeling just to think they might be the same bunch of geese.

After they came swimming over to greet me they swam around in a group right in front of me for a time. Then they all slowly turned and went back to the place where they came from. This was a good day for an everyday adventurer.

(No Fiction Friday this week, but if you really want fiction take a look just under my poll in the sidebar. I've started another blog just for strange stories. You won't find nature there but you'll find plenty of fiction. The Everyday Adventurer is still the place to be for all of you nature lovers, so you only need to take a look if you love fiction.)
