Last week I had some pictures of the donkeys and John on the tractor in the area we call the jungle, beside the north side of the house. But I didn't have any pictures of the finished product. Linda took some pictures for me to share.
Here's some of the "helpers" cleaning up the area.
I think Suzanne is a lot more effective than the "fur" kids when it comes to cleaning up
Boaz sadly watching all the trimmings leaving the area
End result.......... complete with table fire pit. We've sat out there quite a few afternoons after chores. It's really quite comfy and is protected from the afternoon sun by the house. We might even be able to sit out there this summer
Not sure where she saw this little visitor, sitting on a barrel cactus. We have 2 or 3 different kinds of lubbers at different times of the year. They are usually in the grass lands, but we don't have much grass around here.

There was an article in our Sunday paper about donkeys. It was under Nation and World, New respect for oft scorned beast of burden. The paper is Tampa Bay Times and it is on line.It is how donkeys helped to equalize Tang women in Egypt in the years A.D.618-907. The donkeys still had a high status at that time and were used to play a game called Lvju something like polo today. The donkeys leg bones showed stress and strains that come from moving so fast then stopping so quick. This was determined from bones found from this age period. It is an interesting read, I thought you might like to look up details for an interesting read. I plan to look this game up and read more. Hope you had a nice Easter. I am sure the Easter bunny was good to the donkeys if they did not chase him away. Got a little long, sorry
I haven't heard about this game. It's interesting that donkeys were used in a game of "polo". Most of mine don't move unless there is a good reason..........LOL Thanks, Ellie
