This evening, I went to feed the chickens. As I came out the door, Blackie 
came up to talk to me, and immediately flopped and rolled, making air
biscuits
as I talked to him.  I reached my hand down, and he sniffed my hand, then
rolled again and touched my finger with his paw.

When I went to check his food bowl, he ran, of course. I filled the bowl
and
he came back, brushing against my leg. I stayed there, and touched his
tail.
He didn't run, so I chanced touching his back. He still didn't run, though 
he
flinched. I started stroking his back from shoulder to tail and he flinched again, but stayed there, then arched his back to enjoy it. I patted him for 
a
half a minute or so, then when he shied away, left to feed the chickens.
When I was done with the chickens, he was nowhere in sight, but came when I 
called. He again rubbed against my leg, so I reached down to pat him and
stroked his back for several minutes. He was purring like a freight train. 
I
let him sniff my hand again and he licked it a little. Again, I stroked his 
back for a while as he was eating.
He doesn't want his head touched, as I discovered when I tried to shoo the 
mosquitoes, and he mouthed my hand (not bit) in protest. I said Ouch! and
left, both because of the mouthing and the mosquitoes.

We'll see what happens tomorrow. After more than a year, I can wait
