Foxes



It’s getting colder still. This morning as the boys left for work, Johnny called out that there was ice on the windows. I believed him but there was no way I’d be going out there to validate his comment. Turn up the heat please. After getting the fire going, spot started barking.  Barking that can only mean a snake or a fox.   All good snakes should be sleeping right now so it had to be a fox. I pulled my gown a little tighter and swopped my slippers for gum boots. I had to go check the chicken run was closed up tight. I couldn’t bear to wake up in the morning to dead chooks. Satisfied that they were safe enough, I quickly retreated inside from the dark and cold. I added another log to the fire.
