We used to call Nikelene Norman our Barn Fairy Princess, she seemed to swirl through the barn and around the animals like an enchanted princess. An she had a sparkling gown and crown and wand.

But she is a princess no longer, she is a woman now, strong and beautiful and caring. Her love of animals is profound, and I am grateful for every hug she deigns to bestow on me.

I hope she thinks of Bedlam Farm as another home for her, and comes here often. She says she wants to come bye once in awhile to remind Chloe that she must sometimes do what she doesn’t want to do. If anyone can do it, Nikilene can.
