A Sunday Morning

I awoke to a nice Sunday morning with little patches of ground fog in the pasture. Chores were calling me so I got my lazy self out of bed and fed the pets and made breakfast for myself. There were plenty of hot coals in the kitchen stove this morning so it was no big deal getting that stove going. The weather report said it would be a nice day getting close to sixty degrees so I let the parlor stove go out on its own. I have to remove ashes from both stoves today, I'll do that later on this afternoon or evening.

I went outside to open the chicken house door and noticed that I had some visitors, seems my neighbors cattle found their way into my hay field. I walked the fence line between our property as far as the woods and didn't see any breaks. My only concern was that the cattle would get out and on to the road as I don't have the east side of the hay field fenced. I drove over to my neighbor's house and let one of his sons know about the cattle. My neighbors have seven children, home school them and keep 'em close. The older sons are young men now and very polite, nice to talk to them.

I will have to make a run into town for supplies either today or tomorrow as I am getting low on pet food and feed for my calves. I have to fill the wood boxes to have firewood for tonight. According to the weather guessers we are in for a cold spell with the possibility of a little rain, one can only hope they are right about the rain.
