My news. We went out to the barn this afternoon, and the donkeys came skittering down. Maria is collecting freshly fallen apples from our trees and bringing them to the donkeys. Then, we both brush them. Tomorrow, we will let the chickens out of the barn and let them get used to wandering around free-range, in the daytime. I’ll get a video of their liberation. We will lock them in the barn at night. More breaking news and extreme beauty alerts later.
