Up high, remnants of early morning passenger and cargo flights linger in the morning sky, while a thin layer of fog blankets the hayfield down low.

Being raised on a small Florida panhandle farm, we had to save money however we could. One way was using discarded power poles or railroad ties as corner & brace posts in our fencing. It only required some manual labor on our part to collect them. It was hard work, but I never thought of it as an impossible task or a bridge too far.

Flash forward 40 years, & that is what I found myself doing today in prep for future fencing on my small farm in Alabama. Age has a way of creeping up on you. I swear the power company hollowed out the polls & filled them with cement. I cut them to a length of 7 ft before trying to load them. Loaded most of them by myself using simple leverage I learned from my Dad & Mrs. Rachel Peacock at Altha HS, but I was only able to get a couple of them on the trailer with the assistance of some very helpful neighbors.

As I sit here watching the news after taking Aleeve & putting extra strength arthritis cream on all of my aching joints, I am contemplating how much easier this seemed when I was helping my Dad many moons ago. Then again, I was 40 years younger, & even my Dad was 15 years younger than I am now.

Already dread how my back will feel when I struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

Got a little tied up this morning, and did not have a chance to post these. Another beautiful sunrise in Henry County.

This morning’s sunrise was like nature made art for your wall. It looked like God used a giant paint brush to streak some clouds across the sky, just above the horizon.

Another clear, cool (38°F) morning in Southeast Alabama with both the moonset and sunrise visible. According to my SkyView star mapping app. that should be Venus visible to the left of the moon.

Cool, clear morning with both the moonset & sunrise together.
