I awakened early this morning, - Caspar too. So we sallied forth together, down the lane, past the neighbour's pigs who were still asleep, but odoriferous nevertheless.

Here is what I saw....

Then I went in and made some coffee and thought in my solitude about what a very lovely place this is, and how very lucky we are to be here.....amen
