We're definitely in the thick of fly season, but it's not all-out hideous -- yet. The donks get sprayed daily just before pasture time, and, my guess is they enjoy it. After I arrive at the donkey yard and immediately head to the barn, saying, "let's get sprayed" they follow right behind me and stand cooperatively.
In the heat of the day, the windshield wipers are on high speed. And they spend time in the barn in front of the fan, as much for fly control as for cooling.
I know this will be a departure from our normal conversations, but have to show you a stretch of road quite near our little dirt road. This was taken July 7 and the mass of wild daylilies was spectacular -- for quite a stretch.
The hens say hi and hope to make an appearance next post.
Hey Janet. I haven't heard from you in such a long time. I still envy you with your little donkeys. They are so adorable. They are so lucky to have a home there with you. I enjoyed the little video. Goodness! I have never seen so many daylilies! Looks like miles and miles of them! I look forward to seeing the hens next time!
ReplyDeleteMelba, it has been a while. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteGreat to see the donkeys again Janet. Those day lillies were magnificent, what a show. Looking forward to seeing the hens next time. Take care and stay cool. best wishes, Louise.
