Weekly Photo Challenge: Gathering
Gathering. Well, it’s one of my favorite things. A sweet meditative time with the good company of Edgar Rice Burro and the rest of my herd.

Donkeys for Peace: Edgar Rice Burro, my Hero.
By the time I got through the gate, Edgar had joined in. He was running hard, right behind Bhim. Shame on him. I expected so much better from an animal of his intellect and compassion.
Edgar Rice Burro says Good Night. (Video)
It was one of those perfectly beautiful evenings at Infinity Farm. Edgar Rice Burro had been wrestling and scratching all day. Donkeys are the most playful animals I know.

An October Romance.
It was innocent. They were looking for companionship, that’s all. Each had suffered a loss and they were drifting a bit, hoping to find a friend. Nobody said anything about falling in love. Sumo came to Infinity Farm as a kid with his twin Elvis, 12 years ago. They were always carefree and ornery goats, … Read more

I confess that I do not understand taking pictures of food. Nothing against it, I just don’t get it.

Then he … Read more

Edgar says : Every day is a holiday when you have a happy heart!
Edgar Rice Burro's Thoughts on Peace.
Edgar says: Sometimes people consider donkeys to be a bit coarse. To the insensitive handler, we might appear stubborn. Appearing stubborn is just our response to rudeness.
