Terrified Banana

I was outside looking around at the farm and I saw Banana up on the water trough the donkeys use. I started talking to him and he froze. I turned my back and he jumped down to try to hide. I know he was terrified and I was not even close to him. It was ironic to see him up on that particular water trough. I have not seen him do that before. Strays are survivors though. 


Flowers Blooming

There are flowers blooming around here. I think we may have skipped spring and gone right into summer, but the flowers are blooming now anyway. They are pretty around here in West Texas. The cacti all around have flowers on them. It just makes things brighter around here. 





Saverine, Not Okay

Saverine looks sad in her eyes. She looks worn out. Poor girl, I do not know what else we can do for her. It is so sad to see her like this. She is losing weight, but she is eating like crazy. I just wish if I knew she was telling me she could not go on anymore. Her eyes are telling me the end might be near, but I am refusing to accept that. I hate it. 


The Turkens

I have not been around turkens until now, but one of them is changing colors and making weird noises. I am thinking that is not normal, but I do not know if it is or not. They are both eating and drinking, but I just do not know. I feel like something is wrong. I still feel that way. I have left in the coop all this time because I feel that way. I am still waiting to see what happens, but to what end? I do not have an answer to that. 




Green Pastures

We have had some rain and the pastures are so green and beautiful. The donkeys and goats are loving the green grass. When it comes to summertime around here, there will be very little green grass, so I hope they enjoy it while it is here. It does look like they are staying out in the pasture more to take advantage of all the green. They are smart animals. 



Hot Days

During the hot days, Daisy and Bella sure do take advantage of their pool. They both like to have that available to them when the days are miserable. Labs love water anyway and since both of them are labs, they like to stay close to the water. They do hate to be sprayed with the water hose though. Daisy and Bella are something else. 


Banana Again

Banana is making himself at home. I am glad to see that. Yeller is still close by, but I think Banana is still standoffish a bit with him. I have seen Banana more lately, which is nice, but when he sees me, he is out of there. He wants no part in being around me. That hurts my heart sometimes, but it will be okay. I get that he is scared. Maybe one day he will learn that we are okay. I am waiting.
