Farm chores are an organic part of farm life, you find one whenever you step outside. The donkeys are going slightly mad this winter, not grazing for two months, grazing is essential to their piece of mind and need for activity. They are working on eating the barn, we are running out of chicken wire trying to protect the wood. Sprays rarely work. We saw that they are working on one of the apple trees, one of my favorite photo subjects. We got out the chicken wire and pliers, we just have to hold then off for a few weeks. They are eating the gate to the pasture too. The barn looks like an army of locusts and termites struck.
