I leave you tonight with this sweet image, Flo and Lenore working on their relationship. Flo is a tough, smart and wary barn cat. She hid in the woodshed and under the porch for months before she revealed herself and she has been very wary of the dogs, even as Lenore has tried to make friends, as Labs do. The few times she got close, she got her nose swatted. She has kept her distance. This afternoon, as I sat recording my fourth podcast (Lulu’s Dilemma) I looked up and saw that Lenore had noticed Flo sitting on the old stone wall and inched her way closer.

Tomorrow will be a fun day at Bedlam Farm, Vince Vecchione is coming to try and clean up the watery mess by the gate where Lulu has been leading her farm rebellion. Rain in the forecast for Thursday through Saturday. I hope it goes well and as expected and I am eager to see Lulu’s next move. No wise man matches wits with a donkey, they are smart, strong and stubborn. I keep thinking of Maria and I sitting in the pasture while the animals stood across the gate and stared at us as if we had three heads. Who’s the ass now?, I kept thinking. I’m heading to bed and wish you a peaceful and restful night. I think I might need it.
