The air is changing – cooler, dryer.  The first hints of Autumn, Pete’s first Autumn.  While we were in the yard this week, Pete suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. His head cocked as he strained to hear something that I could not yet hear.  Then, suddenly, a flock of geese, flying in formation appeared over the roof of our house. They were honking and flapping with the sunlight reflecting off their feathers, the first flock of the season. Pete was mesmerized.  He followed their flight down the creek, as far as he could see. He sat at attention, unmoving; it was a moving moment.  Watching him, I felt that I was seeing the geese again for the first time. I am thankful that I was present, away from my computer, living life with my little guy.
