We had a new baby this weekend! We have had many calves born on our ranch but for the last eight months, we’ve been waiting for our ginny donkey to give birth. Her name is Missy and she protects our cattle from coyotes and wild pigs. She is very friendly to humans but watch out for that kick if she says back up, buddy. One day, I thought I had a friendly cow coming up for a carrot, too, then I realized it was our bull, and he was enthralled by my neon red jacket. However, Missy decided it was her carrot and she kept him at bay.
So Saturday was the big day and she gave birth. Mike told the story to me, and then he ended with the line he was dying to say. “Not sure if it’s a he or a haw.” We’ll get pictures and I’ll post soon.

It’s probably not even called a ginny(female) donkey but just a ginny. I’m a city girl too. Sort of like saying a bull cow instead of just a bull. I’m always amazed at my lack of knowledge of these things. I even impress myself! And Jean, there’s always room for a praise about Clifford–we had the privilege of participating in his miracle. Love y’all. annie

I can’t wait to meet Missy! Yes, pictures will be nice. What is a ginny donkey? I am a city girl and we don’t know these things. You better be careful when you introduce me to him or her. I have been known to jump on people’s backs when I get scared! …sorry!
Have a good friday night!
Love you-
Angie xoxop.s. Hi, Jean! I hope our little Clifford is doing well! I haven’t heard anything lately.

Hello
I’m annie!
Welcome to my writing home.
This is the place where I gather my thoughts, my faith, and the quiet wonder I find in everyday life.
Here you’ll find reflections on God, truth, grace, and the beauty hidden in ordinary moments. I write about faith that wrestles and trusts, joy that grows even in hard seasons, and the deep goodness of paying attention. Through honest words and gentle perspective, this blog is an invitation to slow down, look deeper, and see life through eyes of hope and gratitude.
