For nine years, our neighbor Frank has housed an emu he rescued from Santa's Land in Putney.
Frank's emu is about 5 feet tall. In case you are unfamiliar with the emu, it's second to the ostrich in the largest existing flightless bird category. Not that I knew any of this until recently, as his emu lives in a stall on his property, and I'd never dared to stop there.
One recent day, my husband Bill noticed something unfamiliar in our field. After a minute, he recognized the emu.
Frank doesn't have a phone (we didn't think he had electricity either, but he talked about having a TV), so Bill drove down the hill to talk to him.
