Tim's Visit

We had a great time catching up on what's been happening with Tim. It was great to get to visit with him again as he came for a visit to Providence Prairie. We enjoyed playing with Mr. Bo-Jangles, as he flew about the house, landing atop people's heads!



We then headed outside to shear Jimmy. It was very late in the season for shearing, but the job still needed to be done, and Jimmy is a handful to tackle! Tim, Trey, and Mark all chased him through the field in the attempt to catch him. My, that is a chore in itself! Finally, Tim caught Jimmy and they drug him by his horns to the milking parlor to prepare him for shearing. It took Tim and Mark to hold him down while Trey sheared him. He looked much cooler afterward, when we let him go in his field. Jimmy's fleece has a nice long nap and is one of the nicest of our flock.


Since we worked up such a sweat, we all decided it was time to go for a swim. The zip-line was put to good use as it was ridden over and over! It was fun watching everyone hang on until they reached the middle of the pond, then letting go to fall into the water!


Later that day, we went to check on and visit the animals. The donkeys are always so friendly! The animals were all given their much loved attention, so we headed back down to the house. Supper was great- especially the home-made ice cream for dessert! Mmmm! Afterward, it was time to say our goodbyes. It was great getting to spend the day with a good friend!
