Trekker socks (our heavy winter socks) are back in stock and up on the site.. gonna not do the price increase until after I get the Father's Day newsletter out tomorrow... will wait to go up on Sunday. We didn't get the sugar in these, but they are truly the softest they have ever been. Really nice. https://t.co/SztrjgOBZq

Freya has had a calf. Nobody saw it coming, which is the point, because bison are built so nobody sees it coming. A pregnant bison conceals the pregnancy. She gives nothing away. There is no announcement, no slowing down, no behaviour the estate manager could point to and say, there, that is an animal expecting. It is a survival trick older than the species' memory. A predator that cannot tell you are vulnerable cannot time its move. So the estate manager did what he does every morning. He looked for Freya at the tree line at quarter to seven. She was not there. He found her two hours later in the densest part of the wood, in a hollow she had chosen herself, standing very still over something small and dark and already on its feet. The calf is the first born on the estate. In the wider story, the European bison was hunted down to nothing, a few dozen animals in captivity by the 1920s, every wild one gone, the entire future of the species resting on a number you could fit in a single barn. Everything alive today comes from those few. Freya comes from those few. The calf comes from those few. Six thousand years ago, give or take, the last of the wild bison faded out of these islands. The hollow Freya chose to give birth in is on ground that has not had a bison born on it since before the people here built anything out of stone. It has one now. The calf was up within the hour, because a bison calf that cannot stand and move with the herd does not last the first night, and evolution does not grant extensions. The estate manager did not approach. The whole point of the project is to want nothing from her, to let her do the one thing six thousand years of absence had made impossible, which is simply to be a bison, on this hill, raising the next one. He watched from the track for a while. Then he wrote one line in the log and went back down to leave them to it. The line read: "She is back. Properly back. There are two of them now."

About $500 catered it myself. We were so broke... Spent most of the money on Champagne. Dad provided the bison prime rib. Was the chef at at a nice Italian restaurant and they let me have the place for the day...
