Time to Wake Up!

Enjoyed three sweet days this week at a bed and breakfast near Fredericksburg ... lovely!!  One of the many highlights of our visit was this charming rooster ... who not only sang us awake each morning with his "cock-a-doodle-doo" ... but kept us in stitches climbing the porch steps to our front door!  Waking up to an alarm clock ... will just seem plain boring now!
