Since she might be here for a while, we got the White Hen a heated water bowl and more space to sit in during the daytime. She seems stable, is hungry, and is eating well. She loves to cluck and chatter with Maria (me too) and doesn’t seem to mind the cold. Neither does Maria, who does videos and photos after cleaning the barn. She counts all the animals and says hello to each one by name. Some know their name now. I ran out in my bathroom to look at White Hen and got some nice pictures on the way out. It is always beautiful here. Florida, you can keep your beaches. Time for my weekly blog reader Zoom

Videos and conversation.

I can tell the cold from her face.

Fate doesn’t care about the cold either.
