Fanny seemed to be walking normally and comfortably; it almost seemed she wanted to thank Maria for taking care of her.

It was a beautiful scene in the barnyard when Fanny came over to be next to Maria, who was taking a video of the Heron on our pond. Lulu followed suit, and then Asher, Zinnia, and Fate. Maria was just where she wanted to be, at the center of a circle of animal love. Zip watched, but kept his distance.

I’ve rarely seen Maria look happier. She’s pretty special.

I grabbed my camera. We went to the food pantry afterward and helped them build a new shelf for the food distribution room. Sarah is always working on improving the atmosphere in the room where people come to visit. Thanks to the Army of Good, plenty of food will be on the shelves on Wednesday—pictures to come. Thank you.
