[jackinok]

it all comes together in perfect alingnment!was out checking stock tanks this morning before daylight and heading in to work.pulled up to the last tank just as it was getting light in the east.nice cool morning ,with not a drop of wind.full moon hanging in the west,sun just getting light in the east,cattle grazing on the hillside across creek couple hundred yards away with calves running around feeling their oats.turkeys gobbling on the roost down in the bottom,a couple of coyotes come across the pasture playing and singing for the pure joy of it,a doe and yearling fawn sneaking up the creek bank headed for their beds,i just dropped the tailgate and took my coffee with the critters! some days its sure nuff worth getting up....

If that was me, I'd probably spill my coffee dropping the tailgate, bang my leg getting up on it and get a flat tire on my way to work.

And the engine would overheat. Some mornings I just go back to bed.

It sure makes me think that I could have had a better moment with my coffee this morning.

I dont know guys,after a month of nothing but doom and gloom on the tv,someone blowing up this or that,folks out of work ,country going to h$ll in a handbasket,it sort of makes you wonder once in a while if the the good lord didnt get it right somehow when he put old adam and eve in a garden with the animals,Instead of in a noisy old city with even worse animals!Maybe i'm getting old(ER),but to me their simply aint no mona lisa painting or any music hall concert that can hold a candle to a morning like this.

You're right. All week long, I'm in the rat race (hoping to stay there and off the unemployment line), news doesn't make it any better. Come the weekend, I avoid the news, get up early, head over to the barn, listen to the horses neighing, mist rising above the fields, work on some projects, head over to our property, sit by the pond watching the fish and fowl and even the butterflies and bugs flitting through the fields. Something about nature.

The only thing a man really owns, is what's inside.
Take care of whats important every now and then.

es. Just like some old psychology experiment I read about in school. Put a rat or two in a cage and all is well.....keep adding more & more rats to the cage and eventually they fight, more that kill, more they become cannibals, eating each other. Country to cities, to big crowded cities. Pack too many animals of any kind too densely & you have trouble.
