  • A Rooster Crows

    This morning one of the roosters crowed for the first time.  It startled me from sleep.  At first I thought something was being strangled.  It wasn’t your typical crow, instead sounding more like a creaky gate opening.  Or like something was being strangled.  Only after hearing it three or four times did I realize it…
