Overhead the goose circled the lake then joining about 30 other geese stretching their wings heading to settle on the far side of the lake.

The music of the wind between the branches is soothing.
The low bushes by the water’s edge seem to shift about slowly from left to right to accompany the song of the trees.
The sky is pale blue with barely visible white clouds.
A small plane flies overhead; American flags fly along the fence of a neighborhood house; the birds are gone; and a feeling of peace surrounds me.
