The pastures wrap all around the house, and we often have nice views of the animals grazing or sitting on the grass. Today’s view was a little more exciting than usual. I was interested to see that all of the barnyard animals except for the cats – chickens, sheep, donkeys, were hanging out together, Spring is whispering its presence. Then I saw why there was so much braying this morning. Simon, who is gelded but doesn’t quite know it, was chasing Lulu around and the two of them were having their donkey shenigans – braying, teeth-showing, mounting – out in the pasture. This happens once or twice a month, but I’ve never got a photo of it. I didn’t mean to today either, I didn’t realize what was happening until I saw the photo on the computer. But hey, open is open.
