This picture always makes me think of a nursery school. It was taken a few years ago, about this time of year. This is so typical of the young jennets, they always come up to me when I have some time to just hang out in the field. We were fixing an automatic waterer a few days ago, and a group of young donkeys was right there, inspecting the work as we did it.

Well, this is a new experiment for me. I have kept journals before, and now I am going to keep one about life here on our donkey farm. Today was a great day, first day that felt warm, the spring onions are sprouting in the grass, and two patches of crocus are in bloom. Tonight I am on foal watch, perhaps we will have a leap year donkey foal tonight.
