Dusk comes early in winter,
and the hayloft, though full,
too cold for the cousins
to play hide and seek.
The barn cats prefer
their domain secure.
Only a fraction
of the stalls occupied
as the accident mending
the fences last spring
now dictates what is possible.
They must sell off acreage
to cover the losses.

Yes, farm life can be so precarious.
You painted a great word picture. I could see it all!

So good to hear.
