sept 3 2015
i had asked... and got response----
YOU WANTED TO BE REMINDED TO ORDER HAY ~ DON'T FORGET ~ 
thank you-- i need all the help i can get...-- they will be delivering some friday- and then the truck with 100 bales on tuesday

along those lines... grace says teh baby is eating pellets--this might be a fact to remember... he wanted no part of th r foalac to begin wwith-- and then grace "blended" some with water and squirted 60 cc's into him.. once he got the taste. withini hours he was picking at the pellets with his faux mother.
according to some report or another  he was known to be an orphan??  in a line up of 80 donkeys  in texas.

makes me wonder who had 80 donkeys to  get rid of...-- some of  them obviously someone's pet-- like the mamouth-- and the mini "mom"   and all have had their feet trimmed--- so they were not just strays...
i know there is a donkey  rescue in texas--- makes me wonder.....
donkeys are such great animals-- with a reputation for being stubborn-- when in fact, they are just being careful of where they walk..-- at one point in my life i had about as many mini donkeys as we now have dogs...  most of you know i used to drive 8 like the budweisers clydesdale horses...-- and had antlers for them... so i would drive them into the ballrooms of several big boston hotels with santa claus in the seat..  we had no trouble  except when the pattern in the carpet changed  from a blurr to generic  pattern of lines...... the leaders wouold stop and look at it before going on...
and tey were very careful about things like the shaddow of electric wires  on pavement... that made parades exciting-
the only sure way across them was a garbage can lid with grain-- fed to the front pair as they stepped over the lines...  or the railroad tracks...  between jesus jobs and santa jobs, they kept animal episodes afloat ( and my kids in college)
*******
megan is ill--- and will be for at least a week--i hope she is well enough to puppy sit as she recovers...
****
meanwhile steve is driving  and should be able to get back in limited rotation soon...
kids are going back to school--- devlin will continue with sundays and laura, i think mondays...
****
i am trying to  get people on a more definite schedle  . instead of  "whenever    it is tough to plan otherwise...
*****
puppies are moving !!  we have had several feelers who say all is well in opals tummy.  
*****
if i had to produce a big project  for a group of people , it wouodl be to make the "A" field useable--it is a few acres    it has a stream thru it which comes out of our pond-- but teh banks  do become muddy -- serious mud... black mud...
another thing to wonder....
****
hmmmmm
