We went out to see the donkeys before heading out to lunch. Lulu (left) and Fanny lined up to see me and let Maria brush them. I lay down on the grass and each came up gently and nosed me, and waited to scratched and kissed on the nose. Okay, I missed them. Okay, I’m glad they’re back. My life feels more whole. The farm feels more real. The camera is happy too, another dimension to look at differently and try and capture. Maria beams every time she sees them. So, she says, do I.
