The Love Affair Continues

Remember the love affair Tessa started with the Old Red Dragon last summer?  It's still going strong...

I've tried to explain to her that this match will never work out...the forty year age difference, the problems with inter-species communication, the hazardous chemicals....You know what it's like trying to convince a teenage girl that her inappropriate, older boyfriend is bad news though.

"You just don't understand him Ma.  He may not say much, but that's because he's the strong, silent type."  *sigh* Just wait till summer when he's out charging and roaring round the fields again.  Oh the fun we'll have....

"That horse is crazy, who'd ever want to mess around with a tractor?  Traffic cones are so much nicer after all."

  2. Too funny! Maybe they only horse around a little. *groan*

    I love the calendar from you that TexWisGirl won. Do you sell them? I would love to get one if you do.

  4. The donkeys are down to earth: an admirable trait. Tessa? a girl after my own younger heart. How I love them.

  5. Animals are like preschoolers. You really wonder what's going through their mind - - - and they often use objects for something other than their original purpose.

  6. My donkeys love the old tractor. They think it is a magical godlike mystical creature. When hubby parked it in the meadow, they gathered around it every day and napped. How funny.

  7. Yeah, um, horses and tractors. Mine tend to "fall in love" with the seats... ;-)
