The one really bright spot of the week is going out to the farm. This last Sunday there was a little box of fresh raspberries in the produce bin. Esme-the-turkey LOVES her fruit, so I sat down in the middle of the barn floor and opened the little hinged plastic box and held it out to her. I thought she would gobble them down, but she was such a little lady. She cocked her head and eyed each berry carefully and then chose the one that looked best to her and swallowed it. Then she eyed them all and carefully chose another. It’s like she knew that it was a rare treat to get fresh raspberries in February. She looked like someone with a box of See’s chocolates! I also found an itchy spot on Toby’s cheek that when scritched, makes his eyes roll back in his head with pure bliss. So it was a good day all around.
