Opposite to Bernard’s often childlike indifference to (or need to eat) the camera, Ellsworth seems to have a constant, yet gentle curiosity each time someone is out taking pictures.

She thinks she’s the boss of the barnyard
Posted by Morning Bray under Farm, Goats | Tags: barnyard, boss, goat, Meggie |[10] Comments
Mom asked us not to wait until Sunday Cinema to introduce you to Meggie because she didn’t want us introducing you to the devil on a Sunday morning.
That being said, sometimes things are better explained in movies. This is Meggie. She thinks she’s the boss of the barnyard. We love her, but she’s, well, umm… realllly bossy.
This behavior is probably what caused Mom to have a dream that Meggie was the devil. We wonder if Meggie’s head is going to spin all the way around one of these days.

Sometimes it just takes our breath away

One of the things we love about New Mexico is the light, especially at sunrise and sunset. Sometimes it just takes our breath away.

Dad’s Little Grey Fergie
Posted by Morning Bray under Farm, Friends and Family | Tags: Don, Ferguson, Little Grey Fergie, tractor |[7] Comments
This is Dad’s tractor. It’s a 1948 Ferguson TE20 (that stands for Tractor England, 20 horsepower).
They were manufactured in Covington, England from 1946 to 1956. Dad’s tractor is one of 15,000 shipped to the US and Canada at the beginning of 1948. The first US made TO20s (Tractor Overseas) rolled off the assembly line later that year.
He’s really excited about restoring it this summer. They’re known in England as the Little Grey Fergie. When Dad’s done, it will look like this:

Bernard is a goober
Posted by Morning Bray under Donkeys | Tags: Bernard, Don, donkey, goober |[7] Comments
Bernard is often called a goober. It’s obvious why.
Bernard, please give your father his gloves back.
Here, try on Dad’s hat.
Dang, I look downright cute, don’t I?
Alright boys.

Sunday Cinema – Donkey Driving

Mom, Dad and Aunt Linda went to a driving clinic yesterday. Not driving as in cars, but driving as in donkeys, horses and mules.
Mom especially liked this donkey:
And this Belgian draft mule team:
As always, Mom says that Aunt Linda is donkey whisperer. There wasn’t a single equine that she didn’t stop to converse with.

Saturday Parts – Contrast

Perhaps we should change the name to Saturday Parts “and Stuff”.
What a contrast this week. This was our view:
Geese flying over the barn at Morning Bray Farm
And this was the view of our friends and family back east:

Here’s hoping that some of our weather heads their way soon.
