  1. Country Girl

    I spent most of my childhood and teenage years on my parent's farm. We had chickens, turkeys, geese, pigs, goats, horses, sheep and for a while there, we had a cow. We also had about 20 barn cats because there are always lots of mice on a farm. I have some nice memories of being a kid, but for the most part...things were not good. Things were pretty bad, actually and consequently I found refuge in books and most of my closest companions were our farm animals.

    Was out working last night and a red fox came scampering towards me. It was dark (of course) and it was lurking along the side of the buildings. Lurking for fox is similar to cats, almost a pre-stalking. It had brilliant red fur with black mittens and a white chin. This was a red fox, which while popular in most of the North America, it is rarer here. It wasn't long before a semi rolled by and scared it off.
