Yesterday we decided to leave the farm and continue on our trip. We will go back on Tuesday for a gardening work party. We are also hoping Ray will fire up his outdoor brick pizza oven!
Before we left, Ray gave Morgane a driving lesson on the golf cart! I think she was impressed.
We also visited the farm animals including the three little pigs. They were very noisy and excited to see us. They thought we might be bringing food. When they understood that we weren’t, they finally started rooting around in their forest enclosure, pushing aside dirt and branches as they went.
Poor Carmanah had us worried. Her face suddenly swelled up to at least twice its normal size. Luckily, Perrin – a vet – lives on the farm. He gave her some benadryn and by this morning she seemed better.
She is sometimes still having trouble getting up though, so we are watching her closely hoping that this will pass. She still seems full of spunk and it’s clear she would like to be chasing squirrels if her body would cooperate.
We hung out in Chapel Hill this morning. It’s very nice around the university. Now we are at a mall near Raleigh where Ghis has an appointment at the apple store. Then we are going to see our friends at their home later this afternoon. Hopefully we’ll see downtown Raleigh soon.
