sunrise.

mornings at the farm are simply splendid. even after a stormy night, the air is water-saturated yet clean, and the breeze light and sweet. humidity must be factored into the equation, but you should also imagine barn swallows nesting in the faded red barn, tucked away from the damp air-adding a certain sweetness to even a more-so wet and rainy day. 

while i was taking a stroll in the field earlier, i noticed a large object in the field next to ours. out of curiosity, i stepped a little closer. a coyote? i bet that's what has been eating the adult chickens. the little babies are growing like crazy right now, almost double their original size. i'd like to add pictures sometime. they are living in what used to be the pig's barn, in which they should stay safe from that coyote that was roaming about earlier. 

it's not that i am particularly fond of coyotes, but there is definitely something that is serene and slightly awesome about them. maybe next it shows its facey around here, i can catch him on camera.
