Loafing Shed

All energies this week have been devoted to completing the loafing shed in the east pasture to give Buck and Rupert shelter if they want somewhere to stay out of the sun, rain, sleet, hail, snow etc. We've been working flat out for several days, and finished it about 5pm.

On Friday, it rained hard all day (first fully rainy day since we've moved here), forcing a work stoppage for the day. While we were stuck inside, a very industrious pair of robins began construction of their own - a new nest in the unfinished loafing shed. We've had to keep working over the weekend, so the robins have had a choice - wait for us to finish, or relocate. It seems they've waited patiently for us to clear away, and now are free to finish their home.

We're bringing Rupert home tomorrow! I'll have adorable donkey pics posted by Monday night.
