Newest Addition

on thanksgiving morning the latest addition to our family was born - look closely in the brush and you will see the back end of a very fuzzy miniature donkey foal - her name is Sicily - her mama - Gina - is in the picture as well - she is harder to see as she blends in with the trees - look closely and you will see that one of the trees has a nose - come on - try and tell me you don't want one of those running around in your backyard!!!
