I'm sorry for the delay in updating. My course studies, winterizing the barn, and my internship were higher priorities. Missy's kittens, while a handful, are growing on us. Missy's become an indoor cat while we keep the kittens in a warmer spot, and I think she's going to stay that way. She's taken to napping on my lap while I'm studying, and while I didn't care much before for cats, she's pretty cute when she does that.
Old Man and Señorita are doing well. Now that it's colder, they've taken to spending more of their days in the barn, but John doesn't mind the cold and has taken to roaming as far away from the barn as possible. I never thought I would be rounding up a belligerent buffalo, but I've had to do it a few times. He belongs in a real herd, but he keeps getting better (and bigger), and he still has all of his instincts. And since the zoo doesn't have enough grazing land for an American Bison, they've authorized the use of McGregor's land for his habitat. He may be here until he can stand behind transported without using heavy tranquilizers and a crane.
I've got to get one thing off my chest. I've just got to.
I'm homesick. I miss being home. The letters that mom sends me aren't helping. I've never been this far away from home before for the holidays, and I can't return home any time soon. I miss Radiant Garden, and I miss the farm.
