When The Rooster Crowed

Albert!  
The children laugh and giggle each time Farmer Albert 
is called to "Wake Up!"
                      
When The Rooster Crowed by Patricia Lillie is a wonderful children's book.  Perfect for preschoolers!

The book is beautifully illustrated by Nancy Winslow Parker the illustrations are fun yet each animal looks real. 

As each of the farmers animals wake up and restlessly ask for their breakfast the rooster crows.

And Farmer Albert who must have had a hard, long and tiring week asks " 10 more minutes."
Then each time counting down till he finally has to give up and feed the animals. 
The story beautifully tells about all the animals on the farm. 

This book is perfect to read with a Preschooler.  The children loves when the reader makes the
individual sounds of each animal. 

And when the Farmers Wife calls him loudly down for breakfast!

What Is A Mini Donkey For?

. . .Actually

They are great hay burners . . . that means they eat alot of hay!

 

and really don't do much to earn their keep except...  

Stand in the sunshine and look really cute . . . 

 

They are rather mischievous.  But they don't mean to.  They just can't help it if you leave treats laying around.  They will find a way to snitch a few...

And they have one little problem . . . 

Their heads get heavy.

Probably what they do best is make you smile.  No matter how old you are!  No one can resist them.  Donkeys are just sweet. 

This used to be 'our' donkey.  His name is Chili Pepper.  He now 

lives with the little boy above and their family.  They have a ranch and teach horse back riding.  So Chili Pepper gets a lot of attention.

Donkey are good at getting lots and lots of hugs and kisses because they are so sweet.  Check out these I found surfing . . . 

                               

                      
                  Now doesn't that just make you smile?

Good Fences

Saw a few neighbors on Sunday . . . 
                       
Sometimes they are close enough to the road to get a good phone shot  . . .

Visiting Fort Worth Attractions

I love my hometown!  Fort Worth has some amazing places to visit.
A few weeks ago we had the joy of visiting the zoo.  
                                             
Today I am sharing a few of the photo's of the animals . . .
           
                       I managed a nice close up of this guy.  
We had a lovely spring day the day we visited.   It was a few days after a very bad storm. 
                        
                                                                Source
The zoo does an excellent job of providing a beautiful place to visit as well as a great environment for the animals.   Sadly during the
storm quite a few of the Pelicans died.  The above photo was part of a news article about the storm.  Click on the source for the story.

We were grateful for beautiful weather . . . 

Although sadly some of the plants had taken a beating too.  And 
there were lots of leaves still on the ground. 
The primates weren't affected.  The have a huge enclosure and indoor area . . . 

He looks like he's thinking about eating the lettuce he's collected.
                              
Sometimes you have to wait for the shot.  

And then . . . 

. . .You have to jog to catch up with the rest of your party.
Or just forget it and enjoy taking photo's. 
t looks like he's following that crowd ahead.  I don't know if it was a good thing getting him that scooter for the day.  We did spend a lot of time trying to 'catch up' with him.  He has moved that fast in years!
 
I guess we all had our distractions.  I kept stopping and taking shots of fences.  Thinking "Oh Tex would love this one!"

I did manage to get some great shots!

We need to go back and take notes next time.  We read the sign but I'm clueless now what these little guys are!

Everyone had a fabulous time.  Except . . . 

. . .The tatooed man that lost his phone.  He said his wife dropped it.  Hmm. . . I bet that's what they all say!

I loved the aquarium.  I spent forever trying to get a shot of a huge 
alligator.   I'll have to go back and try again!

Admittedly I did get more shots like this than the animals . . . 

  There are lots and lots of boy shots on this post.  I'd love you to go over and read the post.  It's a Blessing to see him running and jumping. 
Update . . . Next week he starts Karate again after a year and a half off.  Praise God!

And now back to the animals.  Today I'm only sharing one more. 
I have a few left for another post.  But I didn't want to leave without sharing this one.  We'll actually two . . . 

        Every Texas zoo needs a horse and a long horn!

The Fort Worth zoo is definitely worth vistin' if your every in the area!
