Our many animal encounters of 2020 kept us from feeling too isolated in our year of social hibernation.
I don’t know if I would have survived the existential threats to our health care system and our democracy without someplace to jot down my fears and observations.
We have not been isolated during this pandemic-driven isolation period, thanks to the critters around our rural home.
May you see fit to intervene on my behalf and restore order to this world.
Thanks to all of you I find myself standing here, clutching my prize and beaming over my good fortune.
