Heard geese flying by again this morning. I love the sound, and I love that it always means autumn is approaching (or spring, I suppose), but it also always makes me a little sad, because then the geese are leaving. I love getting to see them around the city during the summer, raising fluffy grey-brown chicks and watching the way there's always at least 1 goose watching over the flock while the others feed. Them flying south for the colder season means the end of seeing that, at least for a while.
The cooler weather approaching makes me want to make oatmeal again, though. I ate a lot of oatmeal for a while, overnight oats, because quick oats are cheap as anything and I can make oatmeal with cream or milk if I can afford it and water if not, it tastes amazing with some sugar or cinnamon or with a little hot chocolate powder mixed in; it's so versatile. Pop it in a container, leave it in the fridge overnight, and then microwave it in the morning. Hot foods can be hit-or-miss with me in the summer so even if oatmeal is cheap, since I hate it when it's cold, I stopped making it. But the increasing signs that delightfully cool weather is on the way makes me excited to start making oatmeal again!
