Chico and the Cork Oak Tree
Written by Geoff Forster
Chico our one year old donkey lives with his dad Domingo on a large mountainside finca.
We feed them a supplement mix of seeds, beans and maize. Domingo eats more and faster than Chico. So we've set Chico up with his own feeding bucket under a shady cork oak tree.
This year the oaks seemed to have produced a huge crop of acorns. Good news for the farmers who's pigs, goats and sheep will eat this free harvest.
It's a beautiful day. Really hot in the sun.
I'm working on the computer but I might take the dogs our soon, it's too nice to be inside.
