Friday Friday

The new computer LE (Long Ears) and I are beginning to understand one another. Can't do pictures yet. Volunteers came today and helped bathe Sparkle and Ruby. They were covered with mud and muck. They looked good when we quit and they stayed out in the yard in hopes they won't roll in the mud tonight. Tomorrow we load up for Tractor Supply Company in Oroville for a Meet Sparkle Day. Tractor Supply has been very suppportive of Home At Last and we love visiting them. Sugar the hinny has now become a real lover!! It seems as though when we let them out in the yard with us the critters view us differently. Both Sugar and Jessie had been reluctant to have human contact while they were in their turn-outs, but once they got to see us while they were free we became less threatening. Even old Jonathan let me scratch his back yesterday. Posey and Bucky have not crossed the threshold to friendliness yet, however. They remain suspicious. Thank you to everyone who has been so kind with birthday greetings and general well wishes. Had a great visit in Colorado but missed the animals and we were really happy to get home. Laura stayed at the ranch and with the help of her friend Sue everyone was well cared for. Thank you, ladies. The weather remains weird- warm, sprinkly, cool. The flies are hatching, but so far the Spaulding Fly Predators are doing a good job. We are going to start fence building next week, so we can have a donkey-free garden. Right now I have NO plants. The donkeys have pruned everything to the ground. The frogs are singing and it's time to quit, so welcome back to Home At Last.
