It's a jungle out there
Jun 3, 2008 | 3:47 AM PST
Sitting here with a cup of coffee looking out the kitchen window,I see the grass needs mowing desparatly.The riding mower has been in the shop and now things are really looking like a jungle! Some big black crows are swooping around and the ground hog that has moved into the wood shed is nosing around the huge burning pile that has awaited the right wind conditions to be lit.Rabbits are hopping around the barn and of course the squirrels are chattering around and up into the oaks that surround this old farmhouse.Down by the road, cars are whizzing by ,folks that work out in the public,starting the commute already.my new kitten Boots is sitting on an old stove on the back porch meowing to come inside."Sorry Boots old girl, you have to stay outside and become a working farm cat."
Soon it will be time to awaken Matt, and get him on the school bus.Already I feel like I'm burning daylight! Oh,well, there is just time to have one more cup, and listen to the mockingbird trying to sound like the barn owl! Then, I shall wade into the fray, machette in hand and push back the jungle once more....
