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."

  2. Did your property come with the dust pit or did it get built up over time? Does the herd have more than one bathing spot or is there something special about this spot?

    1. The property came with dozens of these delightful dust pits. Perhaps the universe knew that I would be bringing donkeys home before I did. This one is their go-to spot when I bring them in from the pasture.

  4. Welcome to the dry eye club. You definitely live in clouds of donkey dust. The dry eye thing is generally one of those "benefits of maturity" as Gigi (former doc I adored) used to say. Got her fresh out of med school and went to her for years until I moved away.
