A whirlwind of activity


The last 24 hours have been an amazing whirlwind of activity for me...

After saying goodbye to my crew on Critter Farm, I flew to Albuquerque New Mexico yesterday to visit my friends Carson at 7MSN and Justina and Don at Morning Bray Farm.

Upon my arrival in New Mexico, Carson and I had a quick lunch and made a short stop at Trader Joe's in Albuquerque (I've been told we have a party to get ready for):

Then she and I made a beeline for Morning Bray Farm:

Justina was still at work, but Don and the donkeys had no problem entertaining us.

Patrick is absolutely gorgeous. He has made incredible strides since I was here seven months ago. Now, he is one of the first donkeys to come up for pats and scratches:

Miss Gracie is still very shy but absolutely magnificent to observe:

The newest member of the Morning Bray Farm herd, Buck, has settled in so well:

He's so beautiful:

For the first time, shy Nigel let me love on him. This made my heart swell:

As always, all the Morning Bray Boyz were thrilled to see their Auntie Linda:

And I had a ball watching Carson position herself, however necessary, to capture the best shot of them:


And the donkeys took her completely in stride, though Ellsworth did want to know why Auntie Linda wasn't taking his picture here:

My first day back in New Mexico was amazing and I feel so fortunate to be back with my "kindred spirits" again:

    I'd love to see some of the pics she gets from those angles. Bet they're good. Hope you have a good time there. I know you will, but I cannot emphasize enough how good it is to be home. :)

    What fun to see your visit from two perspectives, now! And it's funny to see Carson maneuver around to get her pictures.

    This makes me want to get a donkey so I can come too! I can just see my shadow on the end.
    Have fun Danni!
