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 puts outdoor life on hold for most of our four legged friends.
The goats will stay inside their houses until the sun comes back out.
As will the donkeys. (After all, we wouldn't want to get our tiaras wet!)
"Rain? What rain?" say the horses.
The turkeys tolerate it....a bit bedraggled.
As for the pigs...
they will stay housebound until it stops!
This rain will be wonderful for the garden and the orchards...
and for me...
one less daily chore.
No watering!
Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are.
And if you need a little rain, let me know.
I will direct it your way!
See you again on Monday when the sun comes back out!

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...

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...
