I am pausing in my afternoon spa routine to answer a question from a young girl. She was at the recent Heirloom Tomato Tasting event, and she wanted to know if I had a favorite part to the day. She also wanted to know if I had the chance to taste any of the tomatoes.
As for the day itself, I had a wonderful time. Many people stopped by for selfies (at no charge, I might add) and wanted to say hello. It was my favorite part of the day. I think that it is important for me to set apart time each day to talk with my fans. I know that it changes their lives for the better by simply being in my presence. It is my way of making the world a better place.
As for tasting any tomatoes, I have mentioned on this blog in the past that I am not a fan of those tiny vegetables. They are too acidic for my delicate stomach. I feel that they are only good for squishing under my hooves. That sound is delightful. I might just use it on one of my future recordings.
I had a wonderful day seeing everyone. My next big public appearance will be at the Ranch Family Dinner, where I am certain to be the star of the feature attraction (as I am every year). I won’t reveal the theme of this day. Let’s just say that my minions will be present to serve me as I best see fit.
Happy Trails,
