With our unseasonal snow last year, fierce frosts, chomping cows, horses hooves, lambs let loose, dancing dogs, pecking poultry and devasating droughts, I have learned ONE LESSON:
.... forget counting chickens...
...don't count your brinjals before they're picked...the frost got them
...or your strawberry popcorn before it's popped... the cow got them
... or your raspberries before they're covered ... the birds got them
... or your seedlings before they've flowered ... the hens got them
... or your peas before they've sprouted ... the mouse got them
... or your butter lettuce before it's salad ... the lambs got them
... or your tomatoes before they've ripened ... the drought got them
... or your parsley before it's garnishing ... the horses got it
... or your pumpkins before they've fattened... the horses, guilty again...
...lettuces ... slugs.. roses ... horses ... runner beans .... cow ... strawberry beds ... chickens ...
You may wonder at all this.... BUT one of our cows, one of our horses and all the people, especially the man person here, can open gates.
As I said, forget counting chickens, the lesson is:
CLOSE THE *&^%*@* GATE!
ROFLOL...Shame Catherine!
