This is a message for the newspaper delivery man.

Hi. Um, we love that you always deliver the newspaper on time, but because we have donkeys, we have a huge favor to ask.

Could you please not throw the paper so that it lands leaning up against the fence? Thank yew sew much.

If we had checked donkey teeth for newsprint…


A very special thank you to each of you who celebrated our first anniversary with us. ♥

Congratulations to the winner of our first anniversary contest; Pam from Life on a Southern Farm, who left comment #5. Pam’s name was chosen using Random.org. She’ll be seeing a Morning Bray Farm t-shirt in her mailbox soon. Hugs to Jack! ♥ ♥

It was one year ago today that Bernard and Ellsworth made their world blogging debut.

Since then, we’re thankful that our herd has grown to include Fergus and Nigel. 

We’re so thankful every day for each of our four-legged children.  All 14 of them! We’re also incredibly thankful for the many wonderful new friends we’ve made this year because of this blog.

To celebrate one year and 311 posts, we’re having a contest. One lucky, randomly chosen winner will receive a Morning Bray Farm 100% cotton Hanes tagless t-shirt.

I love my morning whiskery kisses!

Thanks to all of you for celebrating with us. We had so much fun reading all of your captions!

Our sentinel 

In addition to being the gentle soul that he is, Ellsworth has established himself as the sentinel here at Morning Bray.

He’s always the first to spot everything…

…and anything.

He’s steadfast and refuses to be distracted from his job.

So many words are appropriate to describe Ellsworth. To name just a few:  loyal, constant, faithful.  What an amazing boy.  We absolutely love him.

 

We’re celebrating our 50th post today – whoo-hoo! –  and would love for you to join us. To commemorate our milestone, we thought we’d have a contest. 

One lucky, randomly chosen winner will receive a Morning Bray Farm travel mug. To enter the contest, leave a comment on this post providing a caption for the above photo. The contest will close Wednesday at 7 p.m. (Mountain time) and we’ll announce the winner on Thursday.

By the way, we’re really having fun with this blog thing. Thanks to each and every one of you for visiting, making us feel welcome and of course, for all of your comments.
