Telling Time by Rooster and Cream on Top of the Milk

When I was little, I would spend a lot of the summer staying on my Grandma Mouton's farm.  No matter what time I would wake up, she was already awake, sitting on the back porch drinking her coffee.  So I asked her, "grandma, why are you always awake so early?".  She responded..."because the older you get, the more you want to see things."  It made sense at the time, but no  - not really.
Now the age of my Grandmother, I know that wasn't a true answer! - you just don't sleep the way you use to.  I find myself waking up too early and know it isn't time for coffee yet.  Enter the roosters!

So the two roosters here crow two times a morning - 4:30 a.m. & 5:45a.m.   Now I know that if I am awake and hear the first crow, I need to stay in bed - no coffee time yet!  If I fall asleep by some miracle after that and wake up because of the second crow; I know I don't have that much time before the grandkids awake and need to get up for quiet coffee time.  And this leads to the next topic - Cream on top of the milk.

OK...Alyce and I have found that we are no longer have digestive problems when we eat meat or drink milk!!  My son cooks 3 means a day and meat is always in some form.  All the food he prepares is organic and the meat is grass fed vs corn fed.  Evidently, this makes a big difference for Alyce and I.  Our systems must have been reacting to the corn, chemicals, etc in the store-bought meat.  And the cream on the top of the milk doesn't cause me to clear my throat the entire time I am drinking coffee. And....we seem to have a lot more energy with the combination of healthy food and lots of movement in the form of HARD WORK!!  And it has only been 1 week.!!

One week! Oh... and the ducks head out to the pond single file at precisely 8:20 a.m.!

I know it seems I am exaggerating, but these are my thoughts at the end of a day.  We will see how things progress as a week turns into a month.  Because I like to include pictures... here is Alyce on a tractor.
