Having Fun on the Farr Farm

When I awoke from a peaceful night sleep the sun had not yet made its appearance but it was light outside. The sounds which had awakened me was that of my mother-in-law clanging pans in the kitchen as she prepared to fix breakfast for her visiting kids, grandkids and in-laws, of which I was one. There would soon be fresh eggs and bacon with hot biscuits, homemade butter and chocolate gravy. Yum! We teased “mom” about her early morning noise making, but in reality it was a pleasant, comforting, homey sound. I drew the window curtains back and looked outside. Not thirty feet from my window, there were three white tailed deer, two of them standing and one lying down as if resting. They were hearing the noise from the kitchen, but not particularly alarmed by it. I took a deep breath of the cool morning air and thought, “It don’t get any better than this.”
