It was heartbreaking to see some of the damage in Vermont yesterday and I am very glad Maria and I are doing an “In Support of Vermont” leg to the book tour for “Going Home.” This tour will kick off at 2 p.m., October 2 at Misty Valley Books in Chester, Vt. and I’m not quite sure yet where we are going from there. Random House is helping me set this tour up, so I’ll keep everyone posted. Vermont can use all of the help anyone can offer, and they deserve it.

Before we left yesterday, we had to get some sick sheep into the barn so they could go home to Vermont. Because of all of the moisture and rain, we had some hoof and lung issues, and they are all under treatment. We used Rose and some grain – taking it easy with Rose – and the combination really worked. Good to be home.

Come and see.
