Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Miniature donkeys

 I loved the friendly donkeys...who let me pet them out on the patio at the Bush Farmhouse Restaurant.








Taking a picture of a big old pig wasn't very easy.

I didn't see the animals again in my area of the restaurant while waiting for my friends, or during our meal.

I did have a rather pricey but delicious beet and cheese and arugula salad. I'd never heard of the cheese, and probably it's not on my diet, but a soft round which was really good. I love beets in salads. It was called Beet Burrata, and didn't have berries which are on the menu, but the sage anchovy dressing was most agreeable.

The hamburgers which my friends ordered cooked "rare" were well done, because (the chef said) there is pork sausage in with the beef, and it needs to be cooked to that temperature.

  1. The donkeys are cute, but as for your meal, I can't abide beets. The burger sounds interesting.

    1. Glad you like the donkeys...you sure wouldn't have ordered the beet salad. For me it was a treat.

    1. I think he/she's known as a pot-bellied pig. I had thought they were smaller...but obviously not like guinea pigs!

    1. I love eating beets, but not preparing them. Funny about that. Yes, cute critters were an added attraction. Getting there early I got to see them.

    1. I guess people either like them or not...no in between!

  7. Love the donkeys! It is hard to take a pig portrait cuz they keep their heads down low.
