There are certain things that make it a good day in the Midwest, in Wausau. A stop at Kreger’s.

 

Best donuts hands down.

 

A stop at the farm. Hay for mulching the tomatoes.

 

A big old barn with towering rafters.

 

A big old solemn dog.

 

A guinea hen chick that needs special care.

 

The horse with the velvety schnozz, always wanting an apple, wanting an apple, wanting an apple.

 

That apple will have to wait ’til next year, ma’m. New York is beckoning.
