The sheep and donkeys were enjoying the back pasture this morning. I took my camera and spent some time with them.
All my pictures came out with a rosy tint to them, as if looking through rose colored glasses. I thought, why not, we can all use some rose tinted glasses sometimes.
I watched Fanny and Lulu nibble between the vines and stems of last years wildflower picking at the smallest bits of green just coming up. They have the most sensitive lips and those big teeth can be as delicate as tweezers.
Asher and Kim grazed together. There is definitely something going on between the two of them. I don’t know if Kim is searching Asher out, or the other way around. Whatever is happening, their bond seems mutual.

Maria, I think these pictures are calming and refreshing! I like looking through rose tinted glasses especially during times like these. I’ve been told I’m an eternal optimist (and it wasn’t meant as a compliment). For me it keeps me grounded in the good that’s happening and there is plenty going on if I look. I’m aware of the chaos and cruelty going on but I refuse to let it consume me. So I put on my rose colored glasses and watch the good in life pop up. Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing your beautiful pictures!
I love that Josie. I think we can be realist and optimists at the same time. I guess it annoys some people. But I’m with you, I’m going to be happy when I can and try to see the good. It really doesn’t get enough attention.
I love that Ascher is a caregiving sheep and that Kim finds comfort in his presence. I like to think that he’s “straightening up her hair” when he grazes the clinging hay from her coat. Like a good friend inconspicuously stepping on the train of public bathroom toilet tissue that you’re unknowingly trailing, so that you won’t be embarrassed. He’s got that “Here. Let me help you with that” vibe.
Well it is grooming that they are doing so that’s basically it Amy. It benefits them both of them, Asher gets to eat the hay and Kim gets a clean fleece. (actually it helps me too when it comes to shearing and skirting the wool but I don’t think that’s a part of it for them. :)
And I believe it’s a kind of bonding too. If Kim didn’t trust Asher she’d never let him even get that close.
Such lovely animals. Their winter patience has paid off. And now, the spring awakens.
Another warm day here Georgette, with a little rain the grass will really begin to sprout!
