Martha sent me the most amazing photo of her Rain (Jazz x Max), now in Portugal, where Rain looks after 150 sheep in the uplands. I sighed at the beauty of the scene. Martha is a kindred spirit, a refugee from the chaos and horrors of America. I plan to follow in Martha’s footsteps, though to a slightly different corner. I must admit, the scene of Rain in the water and mist makes Portugal seem awfully nice.
