Chapter Five
“Oh!!! It’s scary out here. How did you manage, Hobbie?”
“I hid a lot. Then, gradually over time, I started to make friends.”
“Friends!!!”
“Yeah,
Deer are good friends.
Raccoons are hilarious and know how the whole farm works.
Skunk is nice, but a bit hard to be around. I learned the hard way about Skunk.
Then there is porcupine—that one has a short, short fuse and can reach out and swat you in a flash.
Lots of friends, TLC, that’s how you make it.”
Hobbs looked at me and started walking down the point of the Rocky Hill.
Down the road, we just walked up.
Life on a Colorado Farm 
Oh boy. There are friends and there are friends… Choose carefully!
Sloppy kisses,
Delilah
