A long, draining work day ended just over an hour ago, and it was calming to step out of the office into the cool evening air and watch a family of geese--the young indistinguishable now from the adults--drifting on the river. I was about to type " quietly drifting," but actually one goose was honking rather loudly, at a nearby swimmer, I believe. But honking aside, it was a soothing scene. I felt like jumping in to join them in the warm water. But then it probably wouldn't have been so calm.

Afloat together:

for evening to fall.
