Animal Crackers - Green and Gorgeous!

Hello! Today we are celebrating!!! For those in our area - or other drought areas... this is called GRASS!!

 Isn't it gorgeous??? OH it has been sooooo long since we have any grass growing here - and after two rains.. it is popping up all over our property! So quickly that we now are going to have to break out the lawn mowers, and tractor! Hubby already shredded the front of our property, mainly to cut back all the dead so we can see all the pretty green coming up :0)

Now I don't know if you saw my post the other day, but I said we opened up the area between our two main pens. Letting all our "Adult" donkeys and their babies roam together and letting them eat all the luscious green going to waste between the pens. You see in their pens... as soon as a hint of green starts to sprout they have been eating it. It has been way to long since they have had much fresh to eat.

This was after just two days... all the grass is gone... They did a serious number on it didn't they? This is also why I have no video of kids playing this week... no time for playing - they were eating non-stop!

There were a few asking about our "sick" baby... Gabriella "Gabby" - she is doing wonderful! She is extremely pushy and obnoxious just like her Mom - LOL 

Gorgeous isn't she? We are very attached to this little one, Hubby has been calling her Little Rosie - She is Rosie's full sister, and looks a lot like her. A whole lot like her. We miss Rosie to pieces. But very glad that Gabby is here now.

I looked up from here to find Darlene - only enough shade for one under this tree....

 Ok.. one if you are Darlene that is. LOL  Very Wide, Very pregnant, but not ready yet!

Juliet was enjoying some shade as well... And no we haven't moved her out of the youth pen to roam with the other three standards yet... why you ask? Well she loves the other mini's primarily Lydia and Marisa... they are all bestest buddies... and they are always togehter! LOL 

 She might be bigger than the mini's but she is just as cute!


I went to check on the goats... Rhett cracks me up with the buckets....

She tries so hard to walk in them, lay in them, what ever in them! She turns them over just to play inside of them. It is too funny to watch. She is really turning into a gorgeous goat - Great coloring and those stunning ice blue eyes!

Speaking of ice blue eyes....

Miss Libbie - She was so ready for me to be done taking photos and take her back into the air conditioned house!

Autie was also ready....

The sun was in his eyes... Don't you love his little "horns" Doesn't matter what we do those little hair horns pop up... Too cute!

Chica - Found her waiting on the porch - -

She is looking SO much like her Dad Autie. She has always had that puppy look, and the short puppy fur, but just in the last two weeks we have noticed that she is filling in and her fur is growing by leaps and bounds. When they are clean their fur is gorgeous - it last for just a few hours.... sigh...

Hope you enjoyed this week - I will keep trying for that baby playing video... working with children is so tough in the filming business you know!

So what are you up to this weekend? We are attending a birthday celebration for my Aunt who is turning 80. Will be a great time, and we will see family we haven't seen in a very long time.

Have a great Saturday! HUGS and-
