    Did you really hear roosters in the middle of the night?

    I am in love with your strong action verbs. Listen to me….once an English teacher always an English teacher.

    Siobhan, yes - my neighbors have roosters and hens. I was under the impression that roosters just cocka-doodled at sunrise but from what I have heard these past few days they can be noisy all day. But mostly it’s pleasant.

    Kelly, thanks! I have to admit that I wrote this one in my head late last night while in bed. I was wondering if all those verbs were redundant but I felt that I needed them all to give the roosters at night experience.

    I wonder what they were doing…. Did they see a fox? Couldn’t sleep?

    - roosters -

    amorous creatures

    24/7, the squawks

    might be hens’ protests.
