Good 43º clear sunny morning.
Yesterday started off without sun, lots of clouds....
Up in my pasture were the flock of turkeys....
Finally the clouds moved out and it warmed up. By noon it was only 70º. We topped at 83º.
Interesting:
Ronald McDonald is a clown character used as the primary mascot of the McDonald's fast-food restaurant chain. If you are among the 12% of Americans that have coulrophobia, you might want to avoid McDonald’s. Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns. Like other fears and phobias, it can cause panic, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nausea not to mention overwhelming feelings of fear. Psychologists believe that the fear of clowns could be deeply rooted in childhood. It’s no wonder so many people hate Ronald McDonald.
