August 23, 2007 – Cloudy, cool. Visited Orson’s Grave at sunrise, as I often do, a lovely spot looking down on Bedlam Farm, then going to Albany to do “Dog Talk” and see Joe Donahue, stopping to buy some apples. Moved some firewood with Annie. Ordered a canvas winter shelter for the tractor and four-wheeler, bought cables to jump cars and machines. Izzy coming with me. He and I are going to the  hospice booth in the Washington County Fair tonight. I love taking pictures there. I forgot to give the donkey’s cookies this  morning, and Lulu brayed so loudly and complainingly I thought she was dying. Ran out and rectified my mistake. The donkeys love their cookies.
