I went outside for a few minutes this morning and saw the donkeys and goats up by the fence. I knew I had to go over a pet at least one of them. Red was the one who came over to see me first. He is shedding his hair badly, but I know that is the time of year it is. Hercules also wanted some attention, so he came over with some smiles. Pete attempted to let me pet him, but Red kept running him off. I did finally get to pet Pete for a minute. 

I got to see all the cats this morning on my little morning stroll outside before work. 

The horses were getting along while eating. That is not always the case. After eating, Jeb decided it was nap time and laid down. He is such a mess. I have never seen a horse on the ground as much as he is.

Sonny is still up and around and doing well. 

The cats were all home this afternoon also. 

Bill sheds so much better than Ted. I swear Ted has more accumulation of hair on him. Hopefully he can get all of that off this year. 

It felt like a storm was blowing in while out feeding. The clouds were coming in and the wind was strong. It did not bother any of the animals while they were eating though. 

As I was taking trash out later, I went to check on my cactus. It is no longer blooming. I started pulling weeds from around it since that is going to be a big project. I noticed there were a few more growing around that cactus which excites me for some reason and makes me want to finish that project quicker. It will happen. It also makes me determined to get one to my mom. We tried last time she was here, but it died when she got home. I did look to order one and every time I have tried to order one there is none available, but I looked today, and they had one, so I sent it to her. I am excited for her to get it.
