I didn’t want to shoot a video of Rocky until he belong to us, was one of the Bedlam Farm animals. He is a great addition to this crew. We are closing on our new home at 3 p.m. today and that is stirring up a lot of thoughts and feelings in me, which I will share, you poor people ):. Rocky drew me to this farm, then Maria and he is the spirit of our move. Now there is Red who seems to be an animal Rocky trusts. The two are already hanging out together, but then Red seems at ease in almost any space.

I shot this video yesterday. Today Red gets to move into his own stall. Florence his owner loved him dearly but she had a set idea about animals. Ours is a little different. We plan to put him in the stall during the summer days, let him out for a few hours at night. Our sense is he needs to be shielded from the sun and some weather. He has weakened even in the last few months. We will have fresh water nearby so that he can go down to the marsh or not.

Rocky touches me deeply, and on many levels. Maria as well. I can’t wait to integrate him into our daily lives and routines. Maria has a lot of animals to love now, and she is up to it. This closing day seems to be a very important day for me.  More later. Come and meet Rocky in a new way.
