Summer Saturday

Today was a perfect summer Saturday in Sacramento, the weather was just right not too hot. I spent the day doing typical things. Garage sale hopping, farmers market, grochery store, and chatting with my sisters on the iphone. Now it is later on in the day and I am heading up to Auburn to see my gang of donkeys, and unload the green quad. Hopefully I will have some pictures to put up later today..

Rest in Peace, Miss Lily and Jesse

We lost both Miss Lily and baby Jesse due to unknown reasons. The vet said that sometimes when donkeys give birth there bodies go through some type of shock, and then their systems start shutting down. We had to put down both mom and baby, about a week after the baby arrived. That was hard. They will both be missed tremendiously.

Jesse

Say Hello to Jesse! He was born sometime between 8 pm last night and 7 am this morning. Mom and baby are doing fine.

Cherry Picking

On Saturday we had a chance to pick some delicious Bing Cherrys' from Jim's tree up in Auburn. I recruited some good helpers to assist in the task. We got a nice amount of cherries, besides the ones that we ate. If you are wondering where is Logan, Hawaii of course. With Grandpa and cousins.

Piggy Sickness

The Piggy Sickness showed up at my school last week, four confirmed cases. Nope they didn't shut down the school, they just sent out a letter to parents letting them know about the problem and to use their own judgement as to sending in their children to school. To my friends and family if you get a letter like that you might want to NOT go to school or work.

No Donkey Baby Yet!!

Well, we have been waiting and waiting and no baby donkey yet. Ms. Lili is holding strong on waiting to give birth to another long legged long ear jack or jennet.. I was really hoping for a May date but as of now I don't think that will be an option.

TEA PARTY FUN @ the Capitol

Well today was kinda fun. I took a holiday from work to go down to the state capitol and participate in a TEA Party. TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already. It was interesting to see the people and listen to the speakers. I especially loved watching the Police/Sheriff Mounted Posse as the people would come up to see them and try to pet them or take pictures. I also got to see a couple of my favorite local talk show talents Armstrong and Getty. Here are a few pictures:
