Flapping in the wind...

All the Amish homes I passed the other day had their clothes hung...so I suppose Monday is their wash day. I wonder how it would be to have such simple things like what day you do your wash decided for you..and does anyone ever wash on another day. Or is it that they just happened to wash on the same day. I have read though where the day is set by the particular order one belongs to...

I plan to have some clothes flapping in the wind in a bit...it is cloudy and cold, but I don't think we are going to get any rain or light rain and snow mix as was predicted! This is kind of hard to take after having several days of shirt-sleeve weather. But as long as warm days are just around the corner, I will deal with it. The house was 64º this morn, so had to kick the heat back on.

We haven't had breakfast yet...just coffee. Much of the time we are not hungry when we first get up and will fool around an hour or two before we even think about eating; looks like today it is going to be even longer.

ETA: Just hung up my clothes and there were just few little snowflakes. Just saying...saying I am ready for winter to be done!

Country rooster

I don't remember a time that I didn't like roosters...I don't know why I find them so appealing, but I do. And it is a great day when I get to see one and even greater if I get to photograph it. I saw this one on a drive day before yesterday...

Spring is here fore real...we had our breakfast on the front porch this morn. I love sitting outside and having a cup of coffee or a coke, but having breakfast out there is even better. Or brunch might be a better word. We had a BLT minus the L this morn....

Often when I make BLTs it brings to mind a neighbor and his son. The son was grown...in his 20's at least but a little bit mentally challenged. The dad had a garage in back where he worked on vehicles...Eric helped. Well, the dad was going to be gone and ask Roger to keep an eye on things and ask if we would fix lunch for Eric.

I decided to fix BLTs and when we fix BLTs we are not skimpy with the bacon. I really piled it on...he ate the first one...he ate another just as loaded, and I think another...and looked to me for more. By then I was out of bacon and he had to make do with what he had had. He was content, but had just really liked them. It made me wonder if he had ever had them before.

This makes me want to giggle....

The day started out cloudy and acting like it was going to rain...about noon the sun came out but there were still a lot of clouds and not the big fluffy white kind. I could not make up my mind about doing laundry....I was afraid I would hang them out and no more than get them out and it would turn around and rain.

I also felt the urge to go for a drive, again, didn't want to get out and it rain. So, I fooled around, cooked a late lunch, and finally decided it was not going to rain. I first went by West Union Bridge looking for the eagles that we have seen near there a couple times but no luck. I rambled around, only seeing wild turkeys in the wildlife department.

I saw calves at several places...and little bitty lambs. The lambs were always in a place I was afraid to stop for more than a second. I was on the final jog home...meaning I actually knew where I was at....and got the shot above.

This was at a farm where we actually know the owner...I had just waved as I passed him, and just on down the road a bit there in their pasture was this sight...I quick shot this shot...it is a bit out of focus but it still is probably my favorite of the day. I wish I had went back and asked Jim the story but they looked busy, plus I was thinking Roger probably wondered where in the world I was at. So I just took the one shot and headed on home...
