One Amazing Thing I've Done
I once rode my bicycle for 24hrs straight-RW24, Milwaukee! Last Summer I volunteered at Blue Star Equiculture and helped to build a 3-acre organic flower and vegetable garden with just horse and human power! Also, I once saved a dying bumble bee in the early Spring by feeding it honey-water on my back porch.
Teach, Learn, Share
Donkeys aren't stubborn- they are highly intelligent and cautious. Aren't we all a little misunderstood sometimes?
