My dearest Mrs. Rangell,
Yesterday the crows turned mean and killed all of our chickens except for the scraggly ones that hide under the front porch all the time anyway. Jake, the new hired man, called it a sign that the End Times is nigh and so he left to be with his family in Mexico. He didn't even wait for his due wages because I would have had to go to town to get it out of the bank. Anyway, after Jake left the duck pond started to bubble and hiss and now smells like the ground around the septic pipes when it rains. I see a lot of dead frogs around that pond, which would really have scared Jake. Otherwise all goes well.
