An update for those who are still reading my weblog

I have started coming out of my little hut more because the weather has been extremely warm for this time of year and it has been beautiful to see the colors on the trees changing.

The COA has been successful in my absence and Carmel and Jasmine have really taken on the leadership and they have done an amazing thing and have united the entire farmyard.

Sally has been an ambassador with the chickens as well and has been able to get them to see that maybe not everything happened the way they thought it had with Barry. They were resistant at first but she was determined to break through to them and I think she finally has. She moved back into the chicken coop today and I was feeling lonely so I thought I would pop up here and have a look on the internet and give you all an update.

My cellphone has been dead for so long that I do not even think to use it anymore and it has become buried somewhere in my hut under hay and I could not even find it today before coming here tonight.

Barry has been gone for a long time but there are whispers that he is still out there, in the field, and wants to come back into the farm, but they are whispers only.

I think because of the amazing work that the team has done, even if he did come back I don't think he would have even one animal left who would listen to him or believe anything he had to say.

I cannot take my mind off Thanksgiving and I feel as though a clock is ticking and I am starting to run out of time.

I need to make a plan but every time I try to do that my head gets foggy and I cannot think straight.

My friends in the COA want to help but they do not know how and while we are a farmyard united I am the only one with a weblog and a twitter account and who knows how to work this computer so their ideas stay here on the farm and we have lost that connection with any help from the bigger outside world because I have just not been up to the task.

I do not know where we go from here but I think it starts with me coming out of my hut a little more and appreciating the colors of the trees.

I think maybe that is indeed a first step.
