Minnie had a barn cat’s Easter – pellets dumped on a board in the barn. We had a beautiful Easter. Slept late, read in bed, brought Rocky an Easter apple, gave him an Easter brushing. Planted pansies, took the dogs for an ATV ride, sat out with the donkeys, acclimated the new chickens, threw balls and slingshot balls for the dogs, read, ate, talked, took a walk on the grounds of the farm we would like to buy and live in, and tonight, having dinner at a fancy restaurant, where I am taking my girl out for dinner.

My post on Thoreau and Facebook lit up the skies, rocketed all over the place. I’m working on another short story. This one is called complaints.com. I’ll put it up in a day or two.

I think of family at Easter, and family is not yet an easy subject for me. It will be one day. The farm is my family, Maria, the animals, the people on the blog, strangely enough. Hope you had as lovely a holiday as mine. Photo album going up on Facebook Page.
