I don’t know about anyone else, but here in Kentucky it’s cold and windy, and today we had gigantic snow flakes.  I actually looked down the way at my little chicken coop and was feeling sort of sorry for my three girls, Gertrude, Hilda & Wanda.  It’s been quite some time since they’ve been allowed to venture out due to the weather.  They have a nice heater inside to keep them warm, but they surely have to get cabin fever like people do.  Don’t they?  I’ve had a major dose of it myself lately…that’s when I go bake something in the kitchen and pretend it’s Spring outside.  It’s funny…when it’s 90 degrees in the heat of Summer, I wish it was Fall.  Now it’s Winter and I wish it was Spring.  Well anyhow, I took a walk down to check on the girls…

I gave Gertrude some cracked corn, patted her on the head and told her to go back to sleep and dream away….

Then I went back to the house, sat down at my kitchen table and started letting my mind wander to blooming trees, butterflies and flowers… I’m still dreaming…don’t wake me!!!landscape - 30
