Today it is back to normal temperatures for March, in the 50's. The forsythia has just finished blooming, and this afternoon I started to prune them. They grow at the end of the driveway, and are so beautiful every year when they bloom, this large mass of yellow flowers, just when we are all getting antsy for spring. Leaves are a normal part of a donkey's diet, so I fed the cuttings to the donkeys tonight. In the morning there won't be much left, just a few pieces of branches. Tomorrow I will do the otherside. Forsythia blooms best on new growth, so every year I cut the 7 foot bushes down to knee height, to open them us so they grow back with lots of new growth. Next spring, they will be long sprays of gorgeous yellow flowers. I took this picture over 10 days ago. The fence posts are in, but no boards yet, where they are doing construction on the road. I hope Dowell will get some boards on tomorrow. Need that pasture.
The breeding season has started, there are two jacks in with a few jennets now. The rest are very noisy, as they want the jennets to know they are interested!
