Day Two at the farm was a morning of being outside . It was about 38 degrees F, a bit cloudy, and a light breeze: perfect fall weather. Madison decided to get a drink in the tank by the windmill while we were out . I kept telling her all week she was going to "heaven" this week, and it has been that for her.
