10 til 5

The Digital Clock showed 10 until 5 this morning. The Sky was dark as the Days are noticably shorter. As per usual, Freddie, the Rooster, was crowing. Richard and I chuckle about this often as we lay in bed.

Dear Mr. Freddie is announcing the arrival of another day inside the Hen House. He doesn't just do it once. He does it again and again.

Mr. Freddie has a habit of finding places which resound and amplifiy his Magnificent Crow. Inside the Little Metal Shed and right against the Wheel Well of the Car are Favored Places. But I think his most Favorite Place must surely be inside the Hen House as the Day begins.

Richard and I have thought about the reaction of the 36 Hennies. On 1st thought, I can imagine they are rolling their eyeballs. "Not again, Freddie." They surely must be trying to do what we used to do to the annoying Alarm beside the bed: Roll over, hit the snooze, stop that irritating noise.

But rather on this Day, I think those Hennies, just as Mr. Freddie, are saying: "It is a Beautiful Beginning to yet another Beautiful Day."
