[frogs_of_war]

Weeks ago, when visiting my mother, we went for a walk at the park/mill pond across the street. We saw turtles sunning themselves and a frog, and a snake that lay across the path, so lazy (or cold) that it didn't respond to the lady in front of us who nearly tripped over it. And we saw a goose family, but not like any I had seen before. This one had three parents: one white goose and two Canada, and three goslings. Two of the goslings had the beginning of a dark band around the tops of their necks, which none of the parents did and neither did any of the goslings I googled.

But in my head they are a mama (the light one), a papa, and a daddy.
