I doubt this has happened to me before

I had a dream this morning and there was a woman in it. She was a lush strawberry blonde and wore an emerald green dress that matched her eyes. Her eyes seemed to know everything.

We sat alone in the back of a car and snuggled like a couple of kids. Both of us were younger then we had any right to be. There was a kiss, but I won't say who did it.

When I woke there was a cool breeze and the sky was clear and blue.

I hope I see her again.

We made a date for Wednesday.

I'm just asking…

Who would go to the trouble of hand-raising chickens and then chop them into pieces and shrink wrap them? Somebody, because there were chickens like that at the grocery store this morning. I couldn't bring myself to buy one.

But there was also a really good sale on ground beef and nobody ever hand-raised a hamburger.
