Suddenly Sunday

Posey is a hinny. Her mom was a miniature horse and her dad was a donkey. At the auction she was being ridden by a full size man who was whipping her in the face with a coiled rope to make her spin. She does not like people. She is so cute. Callie and Tess are in the barn enjoying three meals a day. We hope that the girls will put on some weight. Both girls have bellies, but their hips are sunk in. Both girls are very old. This is a flashback to early Summer when granddaughter Beth was visiting. She loves the ranch and all the critters.
Don't forget to visit the Thrift Store 611 Walnut Chico. Closed Mondays. There are always lots of good things to buy. Everything from horse wear to housewares to clothing to boutique items. Little Poe came to us after his mother had been killed by a mountain lion right in their pen!! Poe was so nervous about being in the place where the lion had been that he needed a safe place to live. He is a miniature about 10 years old. When he came he was a real head butter, but he has learned to be gentle and just get petted. He waggles his little tail and is one happy boy. He lives with the other goats.

He was named by the fire fighters right after the Poe fire here in Yankee Hill. Love dog says she's had enough of today's heat. Time for a snooze. Good idea, Love, think I'll try for a nap, too. Had a few clouds for a while this morning. Made me think of the coming Fall. I'm ready.

The ravens are back-Maven and Cliff Caven. For a while there was only one and I was afraid that something happened, but maybe Maven was just nesting. Any way, they are back, clattering their beaks like castanets.

Have a wonderful afternoon and be ready for the new week.

Next Sunday is volunteer day 10-2. Going to work on horse blankets for the ladies. No, the blankets are not for the ladies. The working on them is. The guys have some heavy duty stuff with Jim.
