The exercise:

Write something that has to do with: mixed signals.

Managed to harvest a bunch of things for the bakery and restaurant this morning before making the deliveries this afternoon. After dinner I started weeding one of our later sections of corn, which was quite badly in need of it.

Hoping to finish that off tomorrow morning before getting going on the weeds taking over the onion rows.

And then, quite possibly, getting a new cell phone in the afternoon. My current one is over three years old and seems to be on its last legs. We'll see how things go at the store.

Mine:

The air cannons started booming
All around the valley today;
The grape growers smugly shouting
For all the birds to stay away.

In fields and upon tree branches
Feathered heads perk up, turn around;
Flocks take wing as kings cry shrilly:
Quick, quick, my lads! Follow that sound!

Don't dare linger this is a race,
There can only be one winner!
Faster, fly like never before -
Heed the farmer's call to dinner!
