PictureLots of treasures!
Yes, it is actually almost the end of May and today a friend of mine reported snow falling in her front yard. You gotta love Spring in Montana! There's nothing else like it. This week was spent preparing for the first barn sale of the summer, which meant uncovering all the barn sale treasures, dusting them off, organizing and arranging them all for the sale. Regular volunteer Angelica is a natural at arranging, by the way. And Sherry and Debora came up with a great way to display all the clothes. I bought a few treasures myself, including a heavy flannel shirt from Eddie Bauer (like new) and a simple manual elliptical machine. Turnout was low because of the weather, but it gave us a chance to get it all organized. You'll have a chance to check it all out next month, June 11 & 12. In the meantime...

The mini-horses and some of the donkeys got moved into the barn for a few nights due to the bitterly (and I mean bitterly) cold wind that was coming from the North this past week. It made the Friday barn sale a challenge but a few brave souls did stop by. Angelica and I walked into the barn to scope out the poo situation and saw some adorable faces peering out from the stalls. I wanted to get some pictures but as soon as they saw us they ran over for attention. It took at little while to get them to go back to their regularly scheduled munching and moseying, then we were able to muck the center aisle and get some shots.

At one point I had five of them clustered around me because they just knew I had treats in my pocket, and they were right. :-) It was soooooo cozy in the barn compared to outside, I just wanted to stay in there all afternoon. Gibbs heard us talking and started calling out, making us crack up with laughter. There is nothing as entertaining as a donkey in full voice!
