Zip stole the show this morning, as usual. He and Asher are becoming great friends. It helps that they are on the other side of the fence; they learn trust and familiarity. I am inside all day, only going out for errands. I have a lot of work to do, lots to write about, and some pictures to take. Maria sold her Tea Potholder with proceeds going to the Cambridge Food Pantry, details to come.
Zip and Asher bonding. With animals, it starts with touching noises or smelling butts.
When the sun tried to come out. A feeling of great heat.
Whether it’s rain, snow, heat, or wind, the donkeys expect to be brushed in the morning; Maria is the person who does it.
It feels like a painting, brushing the donkeys in the heat.
We’re getting the heat too in the Pacific Northwest. Today is the first day of Spring and in the high 80’s. Sorry it is so hot where you are in New York. I remember times in Syracuse when it was like this.
To be fair it is summer solstice so high 80s isn’t as weird as if it was March! I’m in the PNW too, the hot end.
It has not been this hot in May in recorded history here; it’s hot enough for me, we will survive. It’s much worse for urban people, especially those without air conditioning. The humidity is as dangerous to some as the heat, especially if you have heart disease. Too many have perished that way. I can only speak for myself; it isn’t horrible, but it is rough. I don’t see it as fair or unfair; I only know its effect on me. I’ll live.
I wonder how your donkeys are doing in the heat? They originally came from very warm but less humid areas. Lots of water for everyone. Cities with all their concrete must be the worst.
