Mr. Hunter's Friend, the Farm Cat

As we walked at Hildene Farm, this enthusiastic black and white cat came bounding over to us.  I set Mr. Hunter down so that they could get better acquainted, and the kitty reached out to give Mr. Hunter a handshake (or perhaps a pawshake) of sorts.

The cat--and a fly--say hello to Mr. Hunter.

Eager to say hello!

The cat reaches out to Mr. Hunter.  Such an honor!

Hildene Farm

Mr. Hunter got a peek at the workings of Hildene Farm.  Located on the grounds of the old Robert Todd Lincoln estate, the farm is home to Nubian goats, guard llamas, and some friendly farm cats.

Suppertime for the Nubian goats.

You know how you forget that your camera is set to take video?  It happened here, which is how I came to capture this snippet of Mr. Hunter, the Hildene Farm landscape, and a little bit of goats bleating.

Lincoln's Hildene

In Manchester, we stopped at Hildene, which was the Vermont summer home of Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln.  We arrived too late in the afternoon to tour the estate.  There also seemed to be some tempting walking trails on the grounds, so we intend to return someday when we have time for a bit of hiking.
