See that face? That is a very happy face because the time change has finally gotten here! I can let the fowl out and it is not even 7:00 AM yet. I got my young self busy on that changing of the clocks very early, assuming I moved them the right way. One year I did it the wrong way, loaded the grand kids in the car and arrived to an empty parking lot. I then called one of the church people whose number I remembered. He was very quick to tell me where my mistake was.I hate this time changing. This particular one, I like because I am a very early riser, but the one next Spring is the one that makes me postal! I would like it if the government would kindly leave my clock alone! They can figure all they want and give me statistics until the cows come home, but I still know there will be the same amount of daylight hours. My ducks and geese wake up when the sun comes up. If I need to leave early I have to open the pen door in the dark and that leaves them vulnerable to predators. Sure, things can come in the daylight and eat them, but it is a lot more likely in the early morning hours before the sun pops up.
Now, here I am and it is 7:20 AM. The water fowl are out and swimming around. They are fed and happy. There was just a moment of confusion when they saw Icarus, the cat, perched on the feeder in their yard. Normally the cat does not linger when I open the door. But today she thought she would like to visit a little while. The geese started to make a circle around her, but being the agile creature she is, she escaped that trap.
So now that my life is on this even keel with the sunshine and stuff, I may be able to get something done around the place. Oh, I doubt that! Next I will bellyache cause it is too cold! I know me pretty well after all this time.
Well, that is my thoughts for the day, so go have a good one and try to keep the cart between the ditches.
