Born this morning, 7 lbs, 12 oz, and still no name. Justin says he looks like a Vaseline covered parrot. And he’s pretty unhappy at being out of the womb.
Here’s the newest addition to the ranch. She’s a Sicilian donkey Michele bought to guard the sheep. So far the only time she’s been near the sheep is when they come over to the fence where the horses are to graze (where Daisy likes to hang out).

We have goslings! All that sitting by the white goose apparently paid off. On Saturday was the second and final vaulting performance for Wings Like Eagles this year. Here’s Nikki’s oldest Kayla with a buddy doing a move that the kids last week invented: the Royal Double. Our vaulting performance would not be complete without a firetruck racing down the driveway. The aunt of one of the campers passed out for some unknown reason. Her sister was conveniently the camp nurse and ministered to her until she decided it was time to call an ambulance. I haven’t heard the latest,…
