The Busy Barnyard

Pigs are snorting as they roll in the mud. Rabbits are hopping, not afraid of Elmer Fudd. Chickens are cheeping, the birds are trilling. Muddy nightcrawlers are silently drilling. Barnyard is a place of happy liveliness today. Horse is loving her bucket of grains, oats and hay. Farmer’s wife has sprinkled feed for the cat. However, the cat is busy chasing a rat. Fox did not come to the chicken coop last night. Large rooster is strutting anyway; he is a sight. Tiny fluffy yellow chicks are pecking away. It is a marvelous time in the feed lot today.

Reminded me of my friend Shane, who is a farmer. They are busily preparing Christmas boxes full of goodies they sell from the farm kitchen. He has to feed the animals everyday without fail.

My dogs are so fat and sassy they put up their noses at dog food, racing to the refrigerator whenever Daddy opens it. He throws them baloney.
