Drizzled all day yesterday, rained all of last night, and is still raining today. John said we got an inch and a quarter in the rain gauge.
As I sit here typing, I am looking at about 20 or more little Lesser Goldfinches on the covered back porch, sitting on a table trying to dry out. John fills the thistle sock every morning and usually they are all hanging on it eating thistle seeds. I guess they decided to take a break and get dry. Now that I look at them individually some of them are house finches. Guess they all decided to take a break from the weather.
The donkeys insist on being out in the rain, even though they all have shelters, so of course they are all wet this morning. Donkeys have no undercoat, so they get wet to the skin. You would think as smart as they are they would stay under the shelters, but I guess being "wild and free" is more important.
Lynn is out in the rain building fence.........!! He's bringing in the east side fence in Burroland, away from the wash that is about 20 feet deep. Years ago when our neighbor put the fence up, the fence was about 15 feet away from the wash. It had eroded to within a couple of feet of the fence, and Lynn says he enjoys putting up fence, so John is staying out of his way.....!! LOL
It looks like we will be going Sunday to pick up 3 little minis up in Camp Verde. Their family is moving and can't take them with them. So momma Primrose, daughter Petunia, and gelded year old son Cosmos, will be joining our little herd for evaluation and probable adoption. The woman said they are healthy and friendly and she spends a lot of time with them. They should be easy to rehome.
This is pictures Linda took of little Cheyenne and Buddy Brat for Fat Tuesday, in preparation for Lent. Buddy could certainly use Lent as a time to lose some of the fat pockets on his sides. Poor guy has been on a diet every since he got here almost 20 years ago.....!!
Linda says she thinks Cheyenne poses for pictures, she always looks so cute with those pleading big eyes. It might just be she is begging for a cookie.......LOL
Little Pepsi has decided if Justin can be a racer, he can too. A few of the other donkeys seem to have figured out that if you chase people that are running you can get a cookie also.
And this is a couple of pictures of Jorgia our neighbor's horses, George and Banana dressed up for Valentine's Day. George seems to enjoy dress up, Banana, not so much.
