Where is the sun?


It is a brand new year and the first day of the brand new year. It is grey and rainy outside. Today is the football game day for a lot of college teams. The weatherman promises us better weather later this afternoon. I truly look forward to it. I do enjoy the warmer weather at the beach. When mom and I went to my sister's place over the Christmas holidays ,the weather was real cold. I was cold in her house and out of her house. The warmest place was burning house trash in the trash barrel. I did this task early in the morning as the sun came up. The sunrises were different in the country than over here at the beach. The mist from the water from the wet pasture would rise next door and the sun rays would trickle in barely warming up the place. I did hang up clothes on the clothes line and it would get dry around the noon hour. Meantime, the chicken production line would start in the morning after they had their fill of cracked corn. The red cardinals would be playing hide and seek in the chicken yard. Some of the chickens would not stay in the chicken pen. One would get in back of the horse tack room around the tools to lay her egg. I had placed some hay in the area the time before and she pecked at me for moving some more hay in her area. This time around she was trying to sleep there at night, so I tossed her back into the chicken pen where she could join her chicken buddies and sleep in the chicken house. The few others that stay out including the rooster perch in the tree behind the tack house. It seems they are well protected. You really don't see them unless you are up close. Plus, the rooster crows perched from a tree limb at four in the morning. The turkey named Hillary has been met with caution by the people I talk with over at the beach. I told the receptionist at the local doctor's office and her response was "Does she bite?" My response back was "no she just loves to eat." The receptionist at Quest (where I get my blood test done) laughed at her name being Hillary. She said " I need a Bill to go with Hillary." I told her I would suggest it to my sister Glendon. It is suppose to get cool again within the next couple of days. Glendon will be handling the weather on her own as well as spending the weekend working as a ranch hand at the University Vet School. Glendon has a strong drive and she will accomplish what task that needs to be done.
