It was a slightly chilly day for the Zoo, and the warm weather animals were inside playing poker and drinking coffee. But nobody was there except a few older people walking for fresh air so it felt a little bit like my zoo. I have a membership and while the Memphis Zoo isn’t likely to be featured on Animal Planet for brilliance and innovation any time soon, it is one of my hideaways.
One part of the zoo is called the “farm”. A useful idea since nobody actually knows what a farm looks like now. You can pet the farm animals and they are gentle and a bit sad.
I had to have a non meat dinner after petting the cows and sheep and horses.
This sheep looks like he has a bit of a sense of humor, seems to be glancing at me with rather quizzical expression…
Cow’s eyes are always sort of deep and fatalistic…
Hey got any snacks?????
Look at me I am snacking…..
My friend the donkey… I wanted a donkey until I found out they get lonely and folks are advised to have two. And I would need a barn unless I planned on having them sack out in the livingroom…
You gotta have a pony…..
More pics in the next two pony parties. I figured hardly anybody would be up and at em for the first one. Thanks for looking and please don’t rec pony party. Hang out chit chat and then go read some of the wonderful offerings on our recent and rec’d list.

I want to somehow drag both Ek and the boss into a pony party just to say I did.
On the other hand I love the girl company here! So many smart and interesting women with so many talents. It pretty much rocks.
