Jay Anderson and his father Jeff came to the farm today, Jeff and I were meeting to talk about plans for the new Open Groups Of Bedlam Farm, and Jay took the place by storm. He is a born animal lover, and the animals here loved him. Simon and he bonded quickly, and even Flo the reclusive barn cat ended up in his lap. He belly-scratched Red, picked flowers in the garden for his mother. Oh yes, Jeff was there too.

Watching Simon and Jay, it occurred to me once again that Simon must have known children in a previous existence, on another farm. He loves kids, he was enchanted with Jay, snuggled him and followed him around the pasture. More photos later.
