some fog starting to settle in the low lands. They walked through the woods to where Bob had seen the geese on Friday. They were still there, only now there were almost two dozen on the water.
After careful consideration, Henry decided that the best way to get the geese off the water for a good shot would be to have Ins son chase them up from the north along the shore He would position himself further south along a hillside hoping the geese would fly over his head and he could have a shot. What wind there was, was coming from the north.
By the time they were both in position the fog was getting thick and daylight was closing. Henry heard the geese leave the water and start flying in his direction. They were low to the ground and he was ready. At he last minute the geese turned away from turn and flew off in the direction of their farm. He never got a shot.
It was getting dark when they reached the house. Hanging from the top of the porch on a string was a Canada goose. It was tied by the feet with it's head hanging down. Henry told his son to unharness the horse and he would go to the house and find out about the goose. Bob could see his mother now talking to his dad. His dad slowly turned in the direction of the windmill. and stared up at the structure. From his vantage point Bob could see that one of the blades had a noticeable bend in it.
