What would this old oak have to say?; I feel its old, wise presence when Weezie and I walk in Grant Woods.

After a beautiful walk at Raven Glen yesterday, Gracie and I came back to a car which seemed alternately to be dead or possessed. My always reliable car wouldn't start. At the same time it made weird little rhythmic sounds and lights which didn't stop when I turned the key off. Robert thought maybe the computer brain had a psychotic break.

She had put him out with her other horses and he started chasing them around (which he'd never done before)so she put him in a pasture by himself. When she led him back to the barn, he was doing exactly the same thing he did here, which was to ignore her. She kept having to do things to get his attention back. And by the way, look at those sad eyes. I knew he was unhappy, but looking at these pictures really brings it home. She rode him on Wednesday and was surprised, I think, not that she didn't believe what I'd been saying, just that it didn't sound like the horse who'd left her 6 or 7 months back. He spooked, h...
