The Harvest

September 29, 2023 by Anna

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a brief photo caption about the sunflowers growing on Young’s Hill:

The Sunflowers that volunteered on Young’s Hill are still going strong. As the blooms start to go to seed, I imagine their days out there are numbered…

Well I wasn’t wrong. Look what I found this morning tucked neatly into the folds of a nest in the Greenhouse:

My first suspect, based on a past pattern of sunflower collecting behavior and nest location has got to be Negra. Let me present my evidence to the court of public opinion.

Exhibit A: Negra is a known sunflower collector (photo from September 2018):

Exhibit B: One of Negra’s favorite nesting locations just so happens to be the same spot the sunflowers were found…

The prosecution (and defense) rests:

Bonus! Chilly days call for added layers. Jamie sporting a lavender sheet:

In honor of John Paul Davidson

September 29, 2023 by Katelyn

Thank you so much to Theresa Leone Davidson for sponsoring this day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and bovines in honor of her special human:

“This is in honor of my husband, John Paul Davidson, who is the strongest and kindest man I know.”

We are always happy to celebrate wonderful humans and appreciate your thinking of the sanctuary and sharing today with us all!

Wonderful Cy:

Dear, kind, Terry:
