WELL THAT WAS A SURPRISE......!!

 

This is what it looked like around here yesterday morning.  It was just at freezing, so it didn't last long at least at our elevation. 

The Dragoon Mountains however, has a little more snow and it's still there.  We're back to sunshine although, so no complaint.

 Some of the donkeys have enough sense to stay under cover, others stand out in the weather getting soaking wet.  

 While John and I were gallivanting all over Arizona chasing race car shows a couple of good things happened here. 

Linda took Big Gus to the mail box for an adventure.  He's never been on an official "run" before.  He's over 40 years old, isn't going to be doing any racing, but he's usually in the middle of what's going on and has followed training runs along the fence.  So she took him out and said he seemed to really enjoy getting out and seeing something different.  He loves attention, and there were no other donkeys around, so I'm sure he had a great time....!!!

As you can see there was an audience watching the hay truck come in.  Of course they would have liked to help unload it.  Bales of hay drop pieces of hay, so they had fun cleaning up the area once the hay was unloaded and in the barn.   
 

The project for today is........to get the scratching pole up and usable.   It was given to us and has been here for awhile.  Rosie learned how to use it laying on the ground, so I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big hit with the donkeys.  Lynn and John got the hole dug this morning and as soon as Lynn gets back from town with the cement they'll get it cemented in.  A few days to dry and the fun will begin.  

 

 John and I had a great time at the races, lots of cars and well ran programs that didn't last into the early hours of the morning.  Could have been a little warmer, especially at night.  In the desert when the sun goes down it gets cold real quick.  We had just about every piece of clothing we had on, but sitting in the open bleachers it was still really "refreshing". 

 Last week I shared a picture of the local golf course across the road from our motel.  Such a cute name for a golf course that really looked more like a piece of desert and I figured the sign was a local joke.

Imagine my surprise to not only see people playing golf, they had their golf cart out there with them.  I assume the picnic table behind the sign is the Club House.......LOL..!!
