So I realized that this is the last week of farm life for Story. At least until next year when we move to California. So I decided to take a few last pics of Story and her FAVORITE animal on the farm....the donkey. She says it is a girl and her name is MR. Donkey. I was going to load a picture but it keeps giving me an error message. Anyway, she enjoys seeing and talking to this poor donkey on a regular basis. She is probably the only person that interacts with him, and so, she has created a bond. She gets out and calls him and he will come out of the inside pen to see her. If there are cows in the way he will push them aside to get to her. When she leaves, he will walk along the fence as far as he can beside her, then sit and watch her go. I don't know who I feel worse for. Her or the donkey. Inside I feel sad because I know that she will miss this. I will miss this for her. This is a way of life I did not grow up with and I think it is awesome.
Aside from "her" donkey, she gets to see cows, and horses quite a bit. She enjoys everyday driving slow past the baby horses and saying hi to them, watching them play and hide behind their moms. This...I WILL MISS. So goes it with closing one chapter and writing another. Someday I will give her this way farm life again.
