A new horse pasture went up in the front of our property this past weekend and our girls are loving it. So much more grass and so much more attention! We are pretty happy about this beautiful view too!

Since today is Palm Sunday, Bethlehem the donkey would like you to know some awesome facts about donkeys.

Did you know that donkeys can live up to 50 years? How crazy is that?!

Donkeys also have incredible memories. Some research shows that they can remember things That happened 25+ years prior. They are also very observant and will often recognize someone entering their pasture before horses do.

Donkeys are very strong. They are stronger than a horse their size. Their jaw is so strong it can break the neck of a coyote, which again is what they make great guardians!

Another cool fact - a donkey's big ears are a great way to read how your donkey might be feeling. Pointed ears are a sign of being alert or curious. Flat eats are a sign of fear, aggression, nervousness, or illness. They also use their ears to keep themselves cool. The large surface are helps expel internal heat at a high rate to stay cool in the heat.

The sound they make called a bray is made by both inhaling and exhaling. The duration and frequency of their bray is unique to each donkey. When feeding time comes they will often bray but if a donkey has not become comfortable in their environment they may not do a full bray but only a pre-bray.

A common myth about donkeys is that they are stubborn - in reality they are very intelligent creatures! They have the natural ability to reason and consider situations carefully before acting.

Donkeys were part of the life of Jesus. Mary rode on a donkey to Bethlehem when she was pregant with Jesus and Jesus chose to ride on a donkey coming into Jerusalem rather than a mighty warhorse. Riding a donkey in those days was a symbol of peace. Jesus was coming in humility and peace when he came in riding on a donkey. He came in humble peace just as Zechariah prophesied in chapter 9!

I love that Jesus chose a donkey. Donkeys are amazing animals. We love our Beth girl so much!

Welcome to mud season on the farm.

I've never been so happy to see the snow melt. As I walked out to check our frozen pond this evening I thought about all the farmers and ranchers who like us, took a deep breath today for maybe the first time in a week.

As the winter storm approached we felt the tightening in our chest, the fear of what might be. There were so many "what ifs" and unknowns. It was all so overwhelming. Being responsible for the lives of 42 of God's creatures is not something we take lightly. Not to mention caring for our family and our home as well. It was exhausting and trying in every way but God got us through. We can only give him glory. So many things this week that we can only credit to Him. We are so thankful for His care over us, our home, and our animals. For His provision and mighty hand of protection.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them shout for joy forever. May you shelter them, and may those who love your name boast about you.-Psalms 5:11
