Stickfest

Once George and Alan grab onto an idea, it's hard for them to let go. 

These pictures were taken over the course of 30 minutes late Friday afternoon 

and feature four different sticks. 

Jockeying for my attention

 Alan: I need to get to mom before George gets there.

 George: Don't you dare.

George: He never learns.

 Alan: Quick. Scratch my ears. He'll be here in about four more steps.

 * step 1 *

 * step 2 *

 * step 3 *

 Alan: I hate it when I'm right.

 Alan: Crap. He's going to push me out of the way again, isn't he?

A few minutes in the corral with the boys

We finally some rain Monday night. When I went out Tuesday morning to do chores, 

George and Alan were celebrating in their usual roundabout way.

You'd think they'd get dizzy after awhile.

 

George has the good sense to leave before the dust flies

 I went for a routine eye exam yesterday.

 The doctor informed me that the parts of my eyes that are supposed to release oil

to mix in with my tears blah blah blah were clogged with dust. Whatever.

I explained that I live in a very dusty environment...

...but I sensed she was thinking "lazy housekeeper"...

...not "photographer of donkey dust baths."

Saturday encore ~ George and Alan play the "mom loves me best" game

This encore post is from May 4, 2016...when the pasture was dry and brown,
grazing muzzles weren't necessary, and it wasn't 85 degrees ... unlike yesterday.

George happens to take this round,
but I'm the real winner every time they play.

Things that can't be explained

George has a newfound obsession with the smell of corral panels.
