Ray Telford spent a grueling eight or nine hours out in the hot sun today replacing the old wooden boards the donkeys began eating this winter. The holes are getting bigger, there is a lot of hay on the other side of that wall.

The donkeys have been eating our barn, they get bored when there is no grazing. Even with grass, the holes were getting bigger and they had figured out to pry off the chicken wire.

We are extending the chicken wire further up to avoid further temptation. Ray did a lot of digging, sawing and stapling. He is a find and we are so relieved to staunch the erosion of our barn wall. Donkeys are always playing chess with us, they will think of some other mischief to get into.

This was our move. The next move will be theirs.
