Good Morning! Where the chickens lay a few more eggs, the cows give a bit more milk, and the whole country feels alive with possibilities.

It is a touch cool in the north, waking up, with the temperature sitting at -5.6 C | 21.92 F. However, it will warm up as the day moves forward to where we should be able to enjoy a coffee on the front porch after lunch. I think that would be kinda nice.

Highway 522 is still quiet traffic wise, other than a few pickup trucks and a few locals moving from place to place seeking things to see and do. I’ve also found that the local wildlife isn’t just part of the scenery; it’s the town’s unofficial welcoming committee, whether you like it or not.

On another note, once again I worked here inside on some editing and things, and today I will probably be doing the same. I like to get all my inside things caught up, so I am not wasting the nice warm days sitting inside.

Politicians: I once asked a politician if he could tell me the truth straight. He looked at me like a calf staring at a new gate! You might have had to be raised on a farm to understand that one.

Other than that, not much else going on in and around our small town this morning. So with that I am off for my breakfast that my lovely wife has prepared for me and will then see what the day has in store. But in saying that, over the years, I have found that life’s got a funny way of throwin’ surprises your way. I’ve also found that it’s not the big things that make life worth living, it’s the little things.

You all have a great day, and I will leave you with this: “The old one knows that the wind whispers secrets to those who listen, but sometimes it just blows your hat off and laughs.” GW
