Return of the Mini-Donkeys

If you have followed this blog at all, you know I enjoy stopping close to the Home Depot to allow Jasper to visit with the llamas.
Today he got a rare visit with the mini-donkeys. This was the first for 2011.  I'm not sure where they live when they aren't in this field, but they only seem to join the llamas for a few weeks before heading off to their winter homes.
As for the "mini", you can see how much smaller they are than a llama.  I would guess they are Jasper's height but a good bit thicker.The black one is a foal and what getting pushed in the butt by his mom whenever he slowed down.
Right across the street from the donkeys was a sign that summer is over.  The first batch of leaves are starting to turn.

Jasper must wonder what those strange invaders are who just show up in the field with his friends.
