Chicken Poo

Spring was in the air today. With the sky clear blue and the temperature hitting the low 70's, it felt only natural to keep the door propped open to let in the fresh air. Now it does happen from time to time that someone in class isn't quite so fresh, but today the odor was foul- dead body foul. I turned on the fan, but to no avail. The stink still stunk. Finally it dawned on me that maybe a dog crawled right up to the door before he died, so I went to check it out. Sure enough. The smell was coming from outside, but I never did see the croaked canine.

Well, as I have written before, Rhea County gets out of school for some interesting issues (non-existent snow), but never before have we gotten a call from the Superintendent saying we were going home early due to Chicken Poo.

Evidently a farmer, in an attempt to save money, covered his field with four loads of chicken poo rather than purchase fertilizer.

Last year the field behind our house was treated the same way. We seriously started thinking we were going to have to move. The stink yes, that was bad. But the worst thing was the plague like swarms of flies that followed. We're talking straight out of Exodus. So many flies, that you couldn't see what color our house was in places.

So, keep your eye on the news. "Rhea County Schools let out due to Flies" should follow soon.
