The Gifts Of Bedlam Farm

by Jon Katz

I am a lucky man. Whenever I want to see a donkey, I just walk out of the back door about 20 years and two of them – Lulu and Fanny – will be waiting for me.

I brought some crackers out for me — Fanny and Lulu ate a couple – and then I just stood near Fanny while she had her afternoon hay.

I never take these wonderful animals for granted, I never forget my wonder at having donkeys, these remarkable, smart, stubborn, and loving creatures right in my back yard.

It is easy to take the most wonderful things in life for granted, but I never forget how lucky I am to live here on Bedlam Farm. The donkeys and I get one another.

  1. Thank you for the picture of Fanny. She is now my screen saver picture. As I watch a dozen red cardinals at my feeder I think we are all lucky to live.
