Minnie the barn cat may be the gentlest creature on our farm, she is friends to all living things. She is all love. This morning, while Maria was absorbed in her fabulous fiber chair, behind her back Minnie and Fate were touching noses, a gesture of affection and acceptance throughout the animal world.

Fate loves to chase cats, Minnie pretends not to notice and waits patiently for the time to make connection. It came this morning. The love cat has made another friend.
