Snippets and Snatches
When we were having a deluge the other day, I
thought, my Mom would have said "when it rains, it pours". Spring rains are
welcome and needed, for gardens and pastures and hay fields, but torrents that
flood everything make country life unpleasant!!
Then I began thinking of
all the sayings that come from agricultural settings, and wonder how many folks
today see the applications.
Yesterday while checking for newly hatched chicks I
thought of the age old "don't count your chicks before they hatch". Here you see
what we got after expecting ten new chicks. Yup, TWO!!!
The hen
hasn't given up, dutiful mama that she is, but I know too much time has gone by.
Do you remember I mentioned Blackberry Winter last week?
Well today started out
in the 40's with a strong cold wind to assist us through our
chores............................
