The boys from the St. John’s Home For Boys in New York City came up for another visit to the farm, we had a blast and I think they did too. They met the donkeys and the pony, watched the dogs work with the sheep, toured Maria’s studio and fell madly in love with Red and Fate, who returned the favor.

It is wonderful that all of our animals love people and are patient and loving with them. I’ll put up more photos and words later tonight. These kids have suffered some hard luck but are in a good place, they come to the farm two or three times a year. This was the orphanage where Scott Carrino lived after he found himself homeless, and he welcomes kids from the home to his own farm several times a year as well.

Nothing but a gift to us, they are great people to meet and talk with and intensely interested in our lives with animals.
