Howdy -
After Cold - Snow - Cloudy - Rain - Drizzle and Cold for what felt like forever ... We have some Sunshine! And it is suppose to reach 80 this weekend! Gotta love Texas weather! The donkeys are all out enjoying the sun - and stretching out to get all the green growing on the other side of the fence panels it seems! LOL
"Dad" was out collecting all the water heaters, cords, and then cleaning the water troughs and filling them with fresh water, seems everyone was out enjoying the sprouts of green! Bella and Hannah were stretching out as far as they could to reach those sprouts. I was telling them to watch the pipes and that the cord was being picked up they would have to move, but they were not paying attention to me at all. No worries - nothing was plugged in and everything was safe and being picked up even if Hubby had to reach under those busy munchers going a million miles an hour!
Irene was getting a drink of water. There is something about getting the last before it is emptied and the first when it is filling up? I told her this had leaves and it was going to be fresh and clean in just a few minutes but she was happy with the leaves and grass as extra vitamins I suppose.
Then there was some loud screaming and Hee Hawing! Yep Juliet harassing poor Raffie through the fence. Teasing the poor guy. They were running up and down the fence. Hey they are getting their steps in I suppose!
And Raffie really does enjoy any attention he gets from any of the ladies!
Then calm and sweet Miss Fanci Pants slowly walked up to the side of me. "Hello... Can you pet me?"
She is so sweet and beautiful! Getting a bit of grey to her now. But still gorgeous. Love those deep brown eyes and long eye lashes! Love this lady! Did lots of scratches and loving on her!
Then there was banging on the pen across the yard... "Hello....... ME TOOOOOOOOO!!!"
No calm here... but still sweet! My boy Sergio. He is very pushy about his attention. Hubby and I were talking about Sergio and his pen. This year his pen has to be rebuilt. He has destroyed it - he has pushed and shoved around the panels so much, and time on top of that, they are starting to come apart. So new panels are needed to be put in place to fix areas that are about to fall over. It will have to be a panel at a time, with a guard in place to get it repaired. We don't want the guy to escape! LOL
Ok... last photo is a creature that if you are from around here you know very well. If not it might look pretty strange. This is an Armadillo - and it seems right now we are being over run with them! They are all over the property and are hunting and digging for their bugs for food.
Now that doesn't sound bad... but one does a lot of damage. A bunch of them does a ton of damage! Our property looks like a war zone!
A day ago this was a nice flat area -
And this is in just about every pen, and everywhere on the property. I got of the truck yesterday and nearly fell in a hole! Hubby kicks dirt around to fill holes as he walks around to fill the holes as fast as he finds them. Next day... more are there. Hope they move on soon!
Hope you enjoyed this week. And I do hope you have nice weather where you are -
HUGS and
