Revitalizing Rain

May 20, 2021 by Anna

We have had a remarkably dry spring this year in Central Washington. Fortunately for all things green at the sanctuary, we actually got a nice downpour of rain just before lunch today. During the precipitation, I went over to visit the “California 3” to see what they were up to.  Mave and Honey B were putting one of their new playrooms to good use, grooming together on one of the leaf-like platforms that branch off from the large steel trees in the center of the room.

Meanwhile Willy B, who is always interested when a camera screen is nearby, helped supervise me from his nest in the Mezzanine.

This afternoon the rain cleared and it’s time for more outdoor adventures. Here’s Jamie with her tumbleweed that she collected with the intent of grooming new caregiver Sam:

Happy Thursday everyone, hope your day was just as refreshing!

    Having been a volunteer at WW and for a time, being allowed to interact with those
    chimps, I love seeing the 3 of them now. You have so improved their lives..a difference
    between night and day!! Can’t wait to see who else will be joining them! Thank you for
    making this possible!!

    Hi Anna…I always appreciate your stories & pics, but today I laughed myself silly when I saw Jamie & her tumbleweed “tool” for lucky Sam’s initiation (into the sanctuary club) grooming session from the Boss…Before I lost my sad looking hair, it rather resembled that sparse looking tumbleweed…It was indeed, sparse…HaHa
