WE ERADICATED BEANS TODAY..........!!!

 A video of the race in California

The races always look like so much fun, if I was 40 or 50 years younger.........LOL 

We had some hard working volunteers come out today and  put a lot of effort into getting rid of the beans, so the donkeys can get out of their pens.  We really appreciate the time and effort they all put into the raking and hauling.  One of our neighbors, is going to bring a trailer over tomorrow and haul off the beans.  He said he hauled a load of beans to an open area where the range cattle hang out and checked the area a few days later.  Said the cattle had eaten every bean.  So that's where our beans are going......!!

 

I think her load probably weighs almost as much as she does. LOL

Looks like someone found the leaf blower to play with.  It's almost impossible to rake the beans because of the rocks under the trees.  The leaf blower works pretty good to blow the beans away from the trees into the open, so they can either be raked or picked up with the lawn sweeper.

WOW..........Amy is a two fisted raker I guess.......!! 

They really cleaned up a lot of beans, but there's still plenty of beans to be raked up before we can let the donkeys out. 

So we are having another Raking Party this Saturday the 24th from 8am - noon for anyone that has some time to help make a bunch of donkeys very happy.  We're hoping to have enough volunteers come out to be able to let the donkeys out Sunday for an hour or so.  

Thanks for the pictures, Linda
