What day is it for you?
One of my nieces celebrated her 4th birthday a few years ago.  She and her mom were going somewhere together in their van shortly after her birthday.  And all of a sudden, she says to her mom, “Well, it’s day two.”

And my niece replied, “It’s day two after my birthday, Mommy!”

I have two square bales stacked on top of one another to rest my gun on, and I sit on a third bale. Because this set-up is in the loft of the barn, I have a great view of the fields below.
