The last couple of days, we've been trying different ways of allowing them out. What seems to work best, at least for humans is they stay in their pens overnight, which is about 13-18 hours, from 5pm to noon or 2 or 3 pm. Of course they let us know this isn't right, but are so happy to get out when we do let them out, all they are interested in is finding beans.
About half the trees on the 10 acres don't have any beans at all. Hopefully we won't have heavy wind and the beans will drop as they ripen rather than getting blown off and piling up under the tree. We don't know how long before the donkeys get access to Burroland, but so far they are happy with the beans they are finding on the 10 acres.
Suzznne took pictures of them eating beans. They are like vacuum cleaners this is BlackJack
I think that is Frijolita hiding out in her private stash
Little Jackson out making sure those beans get eaten
Cochise doing his share for the cause
Koshare and Suzanne at Mancos, Colorado in June, making the most of the wait for the obstacle course race to begin.
Mike is just about done with the electricity in the office and arrangements have been made for the insulation in a couple of weeks. The heat/AC is also ordered. The next big event will probably be the sheet rock walls and ceiling. It's moving along, hopefully it will be finished by the time we open back up for tours September 1st.

The new office/store sounds like it will be a great addition and a big help with the work.
Hope so...........!
