Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
By Ann Katzenbach
August 4, 2017
What Lucy was born to do was greet anyone she thought would be her friend. This was primarily carried out with a cadenced and enthusiastic bark and the wagging of a full-on tail. The library, Global Arts, the post office, High Noon Feed, Sonoita Hardware, the visitor center, Donna and Ron Reibslager—all were on her radar.
