The sun is shining bright which is very strange as it is the middle of the night....or maybe it’s the middle of the morning ‘n it just seems like the middle of the night ‘cuz “Baby, it’s cold outside.”.....I mean, like twenty-six (26) degrees cold ‘n that’s pretty darn near cold anywhere y’go....’n especially so here in Ol Fair Oaks where the durn chickens are really complaining about sumthing this mornin’.......prob’ly the cold....I wonder how the little hen with the dozen chicks is doing this morning.....bet they’re some cold little bug-eaters.....Willie got too close to her ‘n her brood yesterday down by the Catholic Radio Station (which ain’t really a radio station a’tall, just where they do all their paperwork - disappointing) ‘n she came out of the bushes (the Mother Hen I’m talking here) doing the old broke wing thing ‘n leading Willie away from her chicks huddled in the shrubs....Willie was so excited he was almost beside himself what with twisting ‘n turning ‘n twisting again....I laughed so hard I almost dropped the leash ‘n Rusty cudn’t quite make up his mind if he wanted t’play or not...anyways, betwixt the two of ‘em ‘n my own ineptitude, we managed to wrap both leashes around ‘n about all three of us ‘n cudn’t quite chase the Mother Hen who got so agitated that she cudn’t lead us away that she ‘bout had a conniption fit....(‘n if you’re too young t’know what a conniption fit is, look it up or use your imagination)......
Anyways, it’s cold here this AM ‘n Millyrose went back t’bed......Rusty ain’t sure if he’s s’pozed t’go back t’bed or not so he’s sleeping in the doorway....Willie’s keeping an eye on me just in case I go off ‘n get sumthin’ to eat (he don’t like t’miss a chance to eat)....I think I should follow brother John’s lead ‘n make another pot of coffee....
