It's time to rise and shine.


Oh, the iconic rooster. For some, it's a reminder of betrayal. For others, it's an alarm clock without a snooze button, and for a city slicker, it's a reminder of rural life. Since 1740, wrought iron roosters have peacefully perched on church weathervanes throughout New England, and yet it is one of the first animals a farmer will warn you about when you walk through a barnyard, as they love to attack ankles and shins for no apparent reason.

Sometimes, though, you get lucky and find a lonely wooden rooster leaning against the barn just waiting to be noticed. It reminds us of country, but without the sound. It's iconic of a new beginning, and a new opportunity to rise up and make a difference. Let your day shine!
