I will never quite get used to living so close to nature and animals, so much of my life was spent far away from either. Sometimes, when I look up I think I’m in some BBC Britporn series from England.

Maria and I went out into our back pasture tonight, I kept a close watch on Bud to keep him from chasing out into the woods after a rabbit, which he has been known to do.

Maria picks apples to give to the donkeys and the sheep, the image seemed to me to come right out of Balmoral.
