work days are long lately

but on daylight savings time these mornings

i get to see

waterfowl.

these geese are NOT swimming

they are walking on water--

ice actually.

a bit further along my route i get to see these beings.

i love the sunlight on them.

they're practically lifelike

aflame, even

and they exist only on amish farms.

where at each end of the day

i see teams of workhorses hitched and tied at the ends of rows

of corn grown against the dearth of winter.

surprise!

just outside of the town

where i'm working now

(and teaching a few extra hours)

there was what looked like a pullover of some kind

(it's usually a car and a call on a cell phone)

it was, however,

a young man driving this hefty team

he was preforming a maneuver

with the tree and harness.

the horses were getting untangled it looked like.

7:35 this morning.
