Guessing Games
Coop sat, feet swinging, on the tailgate of an old green pickup full to bursting with sweetcorn. Husks squeaked and the air was filled with the scent of cornsilk as Coop helped two towheaded boys shuck. Chumani stood a little ways off, chatting with their mother.
“Cozy isn’t a good hint if I don’t know what cozy means.”
“Mostly domesticated animals,” said the boy in bib overalls. “Or backyard stuff. Like that.”
“So cows and chickens and… goats?” Coop checked.
“That’s three more guesses,” reported the littler brother.
“Still wrong?”
With a shy grin, his brother assured, “Not even close.”

FORTHRIGHT 
Moths? Mice?
It doesn’t help that I have chickens, ducks, geese, goats, cats, dogs, cockatiels, and every opportunistic raccoon within 15 miles trying to make a meal out of our smaller livestock.
Can’t wait to find out what they are! 😀
