Life, Lived Single-File

Right now, for the donkeys, life is being lived single-file.

As for who goes first...

and who follows...

It doesn't matter.

Turns are taken as they make their way around their narrow world.

The massive snowstorm slowed life way down for Daphne and Chloe.

Originally, in order to get them out to their water, 

I shoveled a path from their house to their water.

And then, realizing that their world was way too small,

I shoveled another walkway out to an area by the fence...

for sunbathing.

And before this snow gets any heavier with melting, I will probably shovel a few

more paths, just to make life a little interesting.

After all, what is life without options?

You see, it would probably kill these two to step into the snow...

just ask them...they'll tell you!

No, these two long-eared divas prefer to be waited upon...

a coat-thrown-over-a-puddle so that they can pass by kind of waited upon.

Donkeys have a narrow margin of what they find acceptable...

and are willing to live their life in single-file, straight-line order 

so that their narrow parameters remain intact.

Adventure?...  "Who needs it!"

Danger?...  "Over-rated!  Scary!"

Mystery?  Intrigue?...."Not interested!"

 You'll get these answers from just about any donkey you ask.

Donkeys prefer a simple world, hands down.

They love knowing what to expect at all times!

Off the needles...

I love this pattern... knitted with this wool.
(O-Wool is a product of Philadelphia, PA.)
This pattern makes me think of my sheep out in the snowstorm!

PS:  look who else got into the snow fun this weekend....

I also have to share this with you....

as texted to me last evening....

"I love butternut squash!"

"Wait..."

"I'm gonna throw up."
