tempus fugit

Time flew the hands right off the kitchen clock. The little bird peeping out the hole has been taking a break the last week or so here in the kitchen at the Homestead. It's a darling little clock that fits just right on the wall near the stove and across from the back door. However, it's one of the most temperamental battery operated clocks in existence and finding the clockworks with just the right shaft length is not an easy task. Until it was taken apart last week in anticipation of new works being shipped, I had no idea how much I used this clock to keep me on pace while cooking, cleaning, and keeping track of comings and goings.
