the farm

Today was one of those days where you just don't feel much. I only got a few hours of sleep last night, enough to get me through the day but not enough to make me 100%. It was a fairly easy day, setting up chairs, doing a fire safety check through a few buildings, taking out the trash etc. the only real highlight of my day came near the end, it was almost quitting time and I drove up to the farm for the last fire safety check. Theres always 2 geese wandering around the farm as well as one big rooster and a couple of cats. The geese are pretty skiddish, but I felt bad for one that got run over a few days ago (not by me) so I wanted to check on him while I was there. He had a slight limp this time but seemed ok other than that, his friend was honking the whole time, obviously wary of me being there. I went back to the guesthouse after work and grabbed a bag of cheetos, then went back up to the farm to spend some time there (its a quiet place where you don't get bothered much) The instant I opened it and started eating, the rooster ran up to me, I gave him a few broken up pieces and the geese started noticing, so they kept their distance but begged for some so I threw a little over to them, then out of nowhere A cat comes up and starts meowing. she wasn't interested in cheetos, she just really wanted to be pet. so these creatures are all gathered around me, and I forgot how much joy the company of animals could be. I went back to the house and warmed up a little milk for the cat, it was about 15 to 20 degrees so I figured she could use something warm, she enjoyed it.
