Zinnia is getting comfortable with the farm animals and she’s savvy about it. We bring her out when we feed the donkeys and the sheep, and we get Fate to lie down a good distance away.

Zinnia sits with Fate – she’s still trying to win her over – and ventures forth to check out the sheep, who mostly ignore her. I know what a Lab can do with all of that manure, so she won’t be spending a lot of time in the pasture.

I’m feeling stronger this morning, I think it’s so cold that no virus could really survive, inside or outside of me. Maria bullied me into staying in bed late, and that felt good. Zinnia joined me for a while.
