The Hazards of Country Living

Got up this morning as the sun was coming up. Staggered outside, barefoot - with coffee in hand - leaving for the beach and promptly stepped on something that seemed a bit off. After regaining my balance and desperately trying to not spill my much needed coffee - I realized it was a big bird claw! Just the claw. No, not a leftover Halloween decoration. I guess it was the dead fellow from yesterday's shooting. I found the rest of him, or his feathers in the backyard when I went back to do chicken chores. Note to self --- always wear shoes, especially when you can't see where you are walking!
