Looks like Spring...
feels like Winter!
I spent several hours outside yesterday weeding the landscaping, getting ready for mulching. It's almost May and I was dressed in snow pants, wool top, sweatshirt, down jacket and rain jacket... with a hat and winter gloves. It's crazy cold right now, but still feels good to be outside getting things checked off of the Spring To-Do list.
The farrier came to trim hooves yesterday.
Happily, I had a well behaved herd (as always).
Although, Chloe did protest when I asked her to put on a halter. As is usual, she had to run around her yard acting like this was not something she could possibly do. No, wearing a halter would be the most awful fate for a donkey... she tried to make me feel guilty. I, on the other hand, have the patience of Job, and simply let her run around like a ninny until she finally acquiesces.
"There, now, was all that fuss really necessary?"
Of course, as the farrier was trimming her sister, Daphne, (who, by the way, doesn't need a halter because she stands perfectly still like the angel that she is).... and who, while we were busy with sweet, cooperative Daphne, Chloe was trying her best to worm her way into the center of attention.
"You had your chance, little girl!"
Once the farrier gets to work, Chloe decides that the situation is not all that bad after all, and stands perfectly still. She's a Jekyll/Hyde donkey, but I love her just the same!

That bunny is absolutely adorable! You are very good!
Enjoy the sunshine this weekend! We have a full Saturday of rain ahead, which we need.
You are doing great in your artwork. I really love it. Would be so cool to add some hand painted things to some denim jackets or jeans.
Happy weekend.
I love hearing about all the animal antics!
It's been cooler here in the desert of southern Arizona this week too.
70's and 80's, not the usual 90's, so I am very thankful for that!
My garden is mostly planted now but was very late this year because of late cold snaps.
Have a peaceful weekend!
Glad your herd was well behaved..After all, It's for their own good but then, they know that!! so funny..
Your Bunny is wonderful..
Enjoy your weekend..Hugs
It is darn right cold out there.
We have some low 50’s today so maybe that is a promising sign!
I spent the morning outdoors and just came in to warm up.
I love watching and listening to the birds.
Nest building going on too . . .
Making a bunch of changes outdoors, clearing
out some things, adding some new others.
I like my Monday helper grandson for 2-3 hours or so.
Amazing how much that helps.
Mister Irish is still not able to do his usuals.
Opening for some good news today when we see the doctor . . .

That picture of the rabbit is wonderful....did you draw that? wow. You have so many talents. I'm glad one of them, is making this blog! Have a great weekend.
Love your 'herd' of gentle friends..
(But this "ain't where my comment ends!)
I love your art and baking, too,
I love most everything you do!
You live a busy thoughtful life,
Tending needs as farmer's wife,
Your photos, with your blogs. . . superb,
Of you, your "fam" and your small herd
of animals that fill your farm,
That bring on all that country charm!
We love to read your blogs each day,
And view your photos on display!
Keep it up,
You're doing fine...
And now I'm done with writing rhyme...
Just "do your stuff" ...what you do best,
Then don't forget to take a rest.
hugz from over in my neck of the woods!
