Maria put the halter on Chloe this morning so I can move her around the farm if I need to. She’s off for a night on a family errand, I’m on my own until tomorrow afternoon. Wild night planned for me. Brushing the donkeys, working the sheep with Red and Fate, feeding the cats, doing the laundry. I might rush off to see a movie in Williamstown, Mass, I love to go to movies alone.

Maria and I are not thrilled about leaving each other, but it’s a good and important thing to do sometimes. I’ve got veggie pizza to eat, or I might visit the Thai restaurant in Williamstown if I go there. Lot’s of wild choices.
