Early Morning

These little guys (and a third) were sitting on the stall threshold
when I went out to feed this morning.
They were not a bit afraid of me.
I didn't try the "Let's Put You Back in Your Nest" trick again.

The clouds were to the north, to the south, and to the east of us.

As was the rain...
Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink.
(That's from one of my very favorite poems!)

A pumpkin! A pumpkin! Finally! A pumpkin!

The pumpkins are...viney crawlers.
