If there is anything that will send the rooster to the roasting pan, it's the fact that he has found his *voice*. Although we are in an agricultural area, I have noticed that not many people have chickens around us. And it's been a long time since I heard a rooster crow anywhere except in our coop, that is.
It's false that roosters crow at dawn. If ours has, we haven't heard it but he crows a lot all day long. Not continuously but often enough. Thankfully, he's not too loud....yet. We still have a lot of people that work during the day living around us so I am keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't annoy anyone too much. That may be the only thing that saves his life...LOL I would have been content with just the chickens we had before getting him but I think the Beast has visions of letting a hen or two raise a brood to keep up the egg laying hens and a supply of chicken for eating. I'm just not sure I could but that remains to be seen. I doubt the Beast really knows just how much work killing and cleaning a chicken is but he'll find out if he can actually manage to do it.
My brother's ashes are going to be interred alongside his wife on Friday. I am not going to go up for it but it won't be just my sister, Bee, and my brother, Josh. There will be a few cousins, and a few of his nieces and nephews. Bee said the service might last an hour at the most and she really didn't want me to make the trip for just that. It would be different if there was going to be a wake. I would have had to make the drive up there and then turn around and come right back. I guess Cee and I will make the trip to the cemetery when we go up in June and say our goodbyes. I just feel bad that I can't be there with them. "Nuff said or I will be crying again.
Just took a break to set my hair. I took my shower before I sat down and wrote this and my hair was starting to dry. I'm thinking about getting a shag cut when I finally can go to a hairdresser. It should be easy to take care of and that's what I want right now.
I got my license renewed for another four years. Wow! Talk about pricey! $39.00. For just four years. Does anyone else pay that kind of fee for renewing your drivers license? Of course, $3.00 is just for the service in charge of the online renewal site. I guess they have to get paid, too. But still......
So I need to get some sleep. I didn't sleep well last night. I kept imagining my brother, dying alone. I just hope it happened quickly and with little or no pain. If I died, even with the Beast here, I would be alone. That's because you know when you are not truly loved any more. I would miss him if he died but I don't think he would miss me unless Baron died before I did. He might miss my cooking but he's trying to find out why so many things *I* make taste better than when he tries making the same thing. Tee hee hee. Like I would tell him all my secrets!
Love you all. Be happy. Be kind to everyone. We all have different heartaches that we carry around with us. Smile at everyone because it's contagious. Don't be afraid to cry when your heart aches. ***Hugs***
