Around Almosta, when Mel yells out from the front porch that dinner is ready I come running, just like I did as a little boy and Momma use to call me inside to eat.
The same is true for all the animals on the ranch....When Momma calls, they come running.
They can be out in the back pasture or on the edge of the forest grazing....

But when they hear her voice they immediately stop what they're doing and begin to move toward the sound. It is usually Jeremiah who starts the migration....

He is quickly followed by his daughter Snowball and her mom, Jenny...

The rest of the mares hurry, single-file toward their Momma and the barn.....

But my sweetheart, Shadow Dancer, has to stop by the fence and pose for her daddy just one time before hurrying on to Momma....

As the mares and donkeys come to the barn for dinner, Mel's babies in the barn wait their turn.....


And to end this pictorial record of feeding time at Almosta Ranch I leave you with a picture of Mel's day lilly which is the only flower to survive our critters when they graze in the yard. I hope you have enjoyed the show.

And Lezlie's right. Your Shadowdancer is perfectly enchanting to behold.

Things I learned in my life --- if you don't hurry off to dinner, there might not be nothing left to eat!!! :D
Idyllic life indeed, but lots of hard work. You and Mel are special people.
Love this.
