my hubby found some old cabinets & shelves on marketplace.. i tagged along to go look at them.. as we entered the barn where they were kept, i noticed a fenced in area.. and then i see this adorable face.. she was in a pen with another donkey & some goats,. i immediately asked the woman if i could say hello to her critters.. oh, such sweetness.. i was in my element, my bliss.. my hubby paid the woman & said we would be back to pick up items.. yay! cuz i get to hang with the critters once again.. a couple days later, we returned.. it was raining & the critters didn't want much to leave their dry spot, but we could touch if i stretched.. and i did.. there is nothing so soft as a donkeys nose.. there were 2 horses on site that i had to run over to greet.. it's an honour to be in the company of such sweetness.. i never take moments like this for granted.. it might seem mundane to some people, but anytime an animal chooses to share space with me, i am deeply appreciative.. i am lost in the moment of their beauty & kindness.. whether it be wildlife or domestic.. thank you donkey for being part of my happiness..
