Thursday's here again so I'm off to Jenny Matlock's place for Alphabe-Thursday and a look at what this week's letter D stands for.Around here D stands for my neighbours Donkey, who has a field to wander in but more often than not can be found standing by the fence watching the cars and the one lone pedestrian, me with Mr Ben, going by.
He's very sociable and always comes over to have a chat and tells me the latest gossip around the hameau.
See you at Jenny's.
Still with me??
Looks like Spring isn't as ready to arrive as we thought at the beginning of the week. I took these pix just a few minutes ago. It has been snowing steadily all night long and shows no sign of stopping yet. My small, bijou (?) attic room where I sit and blog and scrap is freezing cold, the velux window in the roof is covered by inches of snow, there's hardly any light coming in from outside, so I think I'll take my laptop into the bedroom and have a day in p.j.'s
Donkey looks friendly. Does he have a purpose in life on a farm or something?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of snow you have, I believe it has been quite bad in East Sussex and Kent but we just had a little fluttering and now have sunshine, but it is bitterly cold out!!!
Keep warm, Jackie.
He looks aDorable! I can't imagine living next door to him. I'd probably be over there with carrots and apples for him.
ReplyDeleteGreat D post! Donkey is Different!
What a friendly donkey. We had snow yesterday but the sun is shining now. It is cold but maybe good enough for a walk in the park'Have a nice day
ReplyDeleteOh isn't he just adorable? :) a friend of ours is potty over donkeys and has ornaments inside the house and garden ornaments outside in the garden all of donkeys!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI love the Donkey. It's something about those long ears!! In East TN, you can find them in almost all the pastures. It is my understanding that a Donkey will fight coyotes which are notorious for killing the beef cattle and dairy cows--which are the income producers here. Pretty smart and cost effective!!
I am a bit envious of your life, so quiet, so beautiful, and have to say the favorite is the donkey, love that donkey, thanks for taking me along.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy little donkey! I wish I had one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet donkey. Stay warm today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet donkey! He's a peach! Now I wanna ask the DH if we can have one...we'll stick him in the back yard...and he can share with the mini dachshunds...ya think it will work? LOL
ReplyDeleteMaggie, how nice to be able to see the animals and 'talk' with them like that. I am sure I would become quite attached.
ReplyDeleteYour snow is beautiful, it seems to have been a very snowy winter everywhere, except here.
Have a good day in your pj's.
Oh, I love this donkey! He's very handsome and looks friendly. But I will say, if I looked out the window and saw all that snow, I'd be curled up in my jammies too! Kathy
ReplyDeleteCute donkey! :) I wonder if I could fit one of those into my backyard??? .... ;) !
ReplyDeleteI opened this up expecting to see an ugly old donkey but instead so this cute looking little fella.
ReplyDeleteHe is really, really sweet.
And I love the description of your attic room.
Brrrrr....
Creating in your garret. Sacrificing for your art! Really neat!
D elightful D post.
I am having such a great time with the letter "D"!
A+ and you can stay after school to help me tidy the room so you don't have to go home in all that snow!
It must be very interesting living next door to the donkey. That would be so neat to be able to go out and see him all the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet donkey friend you have!
ReplyDeleteOh, Maggie, a day in your pjs on a cold snowy day souds like a good idea. It's oh so cold and wet here. Perhaps I should do the same. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove your little donkey neighbor. Does he speak French?
Stay warm, sweet friend!
over here in the land of no snow ... im wishing for snow ... well just on the mountains but so far this year, just a scant trace on the ground ... enjoy your snow, enjoy the day in pj's! the donkey is just too cute!
ReplyDeletelooks awfully cold, Maggie. The donkey's cute!...Christine
ReplyDeleteYour donkey look sweet is he friendly? We've had lots of snow in in PA and I'm getting very tired of it. Thanks for visiting my Shabby Cottage please stop again! Warm hugs, Esther
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet donkey! And your snowy scene is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSweet little neighbor you have there. How neat that he talks to you when you pass by.
ReplyDeleteI bet that donkey looks forward to seeing you pass by every day too!
ReplyDeleteGood day for pj's here too!
Judy
he is just adorable...i love the picture with his nose in the air!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Maggie, DOnkey looks very friendly - he clearly craves company and delights in your walking past! We're fed up with the snow here in the East of England - I can't ever remember such a sustained period of snow and cold!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments - I'd forgotten about the silver shoes, but yes - I had them too, always craved gold though! Thanks for stopping by the Ramblings!
