Happy Birthday, Man.
Hope it was a sweet day.
Love you madly.

Isn't this the greatest game of follow the leader you ever saw?


 


I cannot begin to explain how difficult it was for me to move today, but in spite of that I met Dave Henry for lunch in Shelburne, sat outside in beautiful weather and had a great visit.  Good friends in good weather can fix anything.  Thank you, Dave.
On my drive I saw a racoon, a rabbit and several song birds.  I saw no big birds.  It felt a little early in the day for the racoon, but maybe not.  I saw him crossing the road between two large farms, both of which must be great food sources for him.  

Down the road the herd were traveling through the beaver pond..  There actually was a place where it looked like the fence was down, but they didn't seem to see that.  I didn't point it out to them, either.  
I left my cane somewhere and I need it before 10 a.m.  Oh well.  I just want to sleep hard tonight.  Tomorrow is Bard commencement, a long day.  But I'm doing it no matter what.  Wish me luck.
