Wildflowers and Donkeys

In my last post, I meowed about how my mom only lets me go outside for "photo ops". Thanks to the wildflowers blooming here in the mountains of eastern Furesno County, Mommy saw a new photo-op today. I don't know what the big deal is about wildflowers.....After all, you can't eat them! (Or at least I can't eat them....ptooey!) But I dutifully posed on a log with the colorful flowers in the background.
To tell you the truth, I was actually glad to get back inside the house. If I look a bit apprehensive in the photo, it's because the donkeys next door (who are extremely nosey) were coming up to the fence to check out the wildflower photo shoot. Mommy tried to reassure me that they were just looking to see if she had brought along any carrots to feed them over the fence. But I don't trust anyone with four legs who is that much bigger than I am. One loud "hee haw" and I would've been out of there! Anyone who talks about the peace and quiet of country living has never lived next door to two donkeys!

You look very nice, if a bit apprehensive, with the wild flowers. Donkeys can be a bit scary, but I bet they wouldn't hurt you.

We've never heard a donkey in the city, but we've heard them online. Wow, such noise.
