She was charming. Friendly and interested. An almost four year old visiting the farm brought a level of warmth that has been absent for a long time. It was a pleasure entertaining Sophie at the farm.
Sophie came to the farm with her parents and for the first fifteen minutes stood behind her mother, but soon she was eating lunch quietly. Soon, after a drive on the Gator, she played on the third floor playroom of the farm house. While the adults talked, Sophie played with the barn and the animals. Every so often she checked over with her Mother but soon she was back playing.
Her visit to the Jay's farm was the highlight of her visit. The kittens were numerous and friendly. One calf had just been born yesterday. Sophie fed the sheep with Lizzie. She saw many calves. It was all exciting for her.
After returning to our farm, her mother and I sat in the rocking chairs and talked books while Sophie and her father clambered on the hay. Then while we sat and sipped wine in the Hill House she rolled down the hills, again with her father. Rita took over with Sophie and took many pictures of her. Finally, before leaving for home, she made a path on the porch made with stones, telling Rita that she wanted to be able to walk back to the farm.
We four adults were delighted to get to know Sophie and were grateful the parents came to visit us at the farm.
