We were out in the pasture when we heard a rumble and our friend and neighbor Jack Macmillan pulled in riding his big orange tractor. He came to restore some dirt to the Pole Barn for the winter, so the donkeys and sheep had good and softer ground to lie on. Jack saw the weather forecast for Monday and decided to get over here and get the work done today.

Jack is a good friend and a wonderful neighbor (his wife Kim also). I love his floppy winter hats, his wide smile, philosophical acceptance of life and skill and  passion for projects that take him outdoors and into the woods, where his family has owned land for 200 years. I thought this portrait captured him, it is Jack.
