- Bits And Pieces For Friday
This week was the perfect week to whittle down that long list of Spring chores.The flower beds around the house are mulched.The blueberry patch is mulched. The pumpkin patch has landscaping fabric down as a weed barrier. Check, check, check. Chores...
- What Was Frozen Last Week Is Mud This Week
One of the differences between donkeys and horses,aside from the obvious,is the fact that.... horses (ponies, too) don't have enough sense to come in out of the weather. They will stand out in the rain or snow or hail...totally oblivious to the...
- Staying Indoors
After a week of beautiful days,we are receiving some much needed rain. In fact, we are receiving a LOT of rain.The mowing and weeding are all caught up,so we are concentrating on inside tasks...organizing every nook and cranny we can find. Steady rain...
- Between The Raindrops
Yesterday brought heavy rain showers,so morning chores were done in rain gear.At some point you have to just decide that you are going to get wet...and go with it! Most of the animals chose to stay under cover(except the horses, of course.... a monsoon...
- We're Having A Heat Wave!

Animals
It's Raining Cats and Donkeys
The saying goes...
"be careful what you wish for..."
Until this week, we had been very dry...no rain for weeks.
This week has brought plenty of rain...
and there's more on the way!
We are spending most of our time indoors.
(And of course there's plenty to do.)
Unfortunately the same isn't true for the animals.
With no hobbies to help them wile away the hours,
the animals spend their time looking out at the rain.
I wonder what they're thinking...
I know the donkeys wish it would stop.
They're not a fan of getting wet.
(not the case with the horses!)
Normal Autumn weather is to return next week...
so we will be back with lots more "tails" to tell.
I hope wherever you are this weekend
that you are not feeling the effects of the hurricane.
