Christmas in April

April 8, 2016 by J.B.

Last year, we waited until October to plant the chimps’ potted Christmas tree. Since Jody has been steadily devouring that one, I thought we’d get this one planted sooner. Missy was the first to check it out, but only because Anna decorated it with apple slices.

Today has been another beautiful, summer-like day. Perfect for walking around the hill with friends, both real and imaginary.

Also perfect for enjoying breakfast and lunch forages that included chive flowers, beets and greens, and Negra’s favorite, lettuce.

And when the food was all gone, the chimps took a moment to enjoy the amazing views from Young’s Hill.

    What an extraordinary setting and environment the chimps have outdoors at CSN! (Indoors too of course!) Though we can only speculate about what they feel, it must certainly bring them some well deserved peace and joy.

    Blessings to the girls and boy and all who care for them.

    Lovely photo of Negra with her lettuce and sunshine dancing all over her. And that view!? WOW!
