We’re in a warm spell and the afternoon sun is quite strong.

The animal’s favorite shade place is by our big and beautiful and old Apple Tree. In the photo, Robin is lying there, a few sheep, and both donkeys are nearby, along with two chickens.

I sat out under the tree to meditate for a while, but the bugs got to me. I got groggy too.

I admire the way the apple tree is always helpful to people, in one way or another.
