January 16, 2008 – Cold, clear. This winter is developing a sort of relentlessness about it. The forecast calls for more cold, snow and ice and bitter cold next week. Annie repaired the cord to the cows water de-icer and Luna came to check it out. It is quite remarkable to see Annie and the animals. They all love her and are drawn to her, and when she shows up, it’s like a Disney movie with all this braying, barking, clucking and baaahing as everybody rushes over to see her and what she’s up to. I am lucky she exists, and works here. If you do, in fact, get what you deserve, I’m all right.
