Salt Lick

Taking the donkeys’ attention in the corner of their stable, they didn’t notice the apple twigs hanging in the corner until much later. The vet gave them their flu jabs and wormer, it wasn’t absolutely necessary to worm them because the count was low but as the vet was here anyway….! Planted tomato seeds which are now on top of the boiler. A sunny morning with cloud and drizzle later.

Flu Jab

William and Toby had their annual vaccination, they weren’t very enthusiastic about a rather tall vet approaching them but she was very patient; consolation was half an apple each and some hay, the water troughs were frozen and the ice couldn’t be broken so had to be defrosted with hot water. The spring has stopped running into the ditch and the paddocks are very hard underfoot, the grass looks to have wilted which makes poo picking easier. Another cloudy and very cold day with a strong wind and a few snow flurries, the sun shone for half an hour and almost lifted the temperature.
