On Saturday, Ry & Michelle had a big party at their place. The barn trim was freshly painted, the petunias planted and the lawn mowed. Rudy and Lightning made it seem like a movie set. Everyone had a turn feeding Lightning, so she was stuffed with apple treats. Her nose is so velvety when she snuffles at your palm. The kids and their guests floated around the pool on inflatable mattresses. The food was good and to cap it off the donkeys were in the pasture across the street with their babies. We could see their ears sticking out of the tall grass.
