RDP Thursday: congregating

Written for RDP where bushboy asks us to
get creative with the word “congregating”.
Thanks, Brian! Here’s where the prompt took me.

Our house is located a few yards away from the entrance to a nature trail so it isn’t unusual for us to see deer or wild turkeys walking across our property. The other day, however, it looked more like the filming of a Disney movie as a cast of cute creatures began congregating in our backyard. We found out later that day that a massive tree had fallen on the opposite side of the nature preserve, pulling down wires, cutting off phone service and electricity to the neighboring houses, and obviously scaring and displacing the animals who live in the preserve. It’s been lovely, however, drinking our morning coffee or eating lunch outside and watching our visitors munching on the grass and leaves, but I know they are anxious to get back to their homes. Today is stormy and I hope the animals find shelter as they wait it out.
