Over the past year we have blogged about children reading aloud to dogs and about Ethiopia Reads’ donkey-drawn libraries but here is a first: children reading with donkeys. To celebrate National Storytelling Week in the United Kingdom, The Donkey Sanctuary, will be opening its doors to local groups and schools for storytelling sessions in the company of the donkeys! Emma Foster reports:
The sanctuary’s education and activities team will be bringing donkey-related children’s stories to life with the assistance of puppets and props. During each session the children will have a refreshment break and then take part in donkey walking and grooming around the barns.
Janice Aherne, education and activities manager, said: “We are thrilled to be taking part in National Storytelling Week. It will give our staff the chance to put into practice their recently acquired skills following training from a professional storyteller.
“Our donkeys always enjoy playing to an audience and we can’t wait to share stories and puppet shows with the children.”
Places are limited so booking is essential, the charity said. There is no charge for groups attending, however donations to the sanctuary are welcome.
For more information click here.
The Donkey Sanctuary aims to protect donkeys and mules and promote their welfare worldwide. Every year on March 20th, The Donkey Sanctuary celebrates World Storytelling Day by working with children throughout the world, using stories and discussions, to encourage better attitudes to donkey welfare.

A global celebration of the art of oral storytelling, World Storytelling Day is celebrated every year on the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, the autumn equinox in the southern. World Storytelling Day’s goal is to get everyone, everywhere to tell and listen to stories and to share their experiences.
The germ of World Storytelling Day originated in Sweden, with an event called “Alla berattares dag” (All Storytellers’ Day), which took place on March 20, 1991. The idea of honoring oral storytelling with a special day caught on over time, spreading to other Scandinavian countries as well as to Australia, North and South America. (For a complete history of its development, see here).
Growing in popularity every year, this now truly global celebration counts with the participation of over 25 countries from 5 different continents. The theme for this year’s World Storytelling Day is “DREAMS.” So dream big, and share your plans/results with us!
For more details and a calendar of storytelling events happening around the world, visit the website. Our thanks to Swedish storyteller Mats Rehnman for providing us with the World Storytelling Day logo.

Good Morning:
I've just spent the morning listing and marketing on Ebay and Etsy. Not my favorite way to spend my glorious morning time, but it's a chore that must be done....so, it is done!!
With spring rolling smoothly along, and summer quickly coming upon us, I find myself looking forward to long days and bar-b-ques. With Memorial Day right around the corner, we have already planned the yearly grill with our neighbors across the street. Ava is working on the menu today and all will be well planned long before the charcoal is lit.
The menu is yummy, but somewhat predictible. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs, Chili, homemade Guacamole, lots of Salsa, dips and chips. I always try to include a few healthy items, corn on the cob and raw vegetables, although I am most likely the only person that grabs for these items first!! A big bar-b-que is never a healthy, meal, but it sure is good for the soul!! We look forward to our Memorial Day bar-b-que each year, although we never do anything outstandingly superb. We just hang out together and eat and gab.
You see, although the kids and teens that attend this traditional dinner don't consciously realize it, they are making memories. Through the act of having this celebration each and every year, we are concocting images that the kids will pull from as they grow older. Just as I remember my dad mowing the lawn, and my mom canning plum jelly on hot summer days, the kids who attend our annual bar-b-que will look back to these yearly and somewhat predictible dinners shared with friends.
As I have grown older, I have the luxury of wisdom!! I know that what my children and my neighbor's children are looking at as "just another Memorial Day bar-b-que", will, in their future, become breathable and almost touchable memories that will tug on their heart and bring joy and comfort to their lives.
I'm not really sure why I'm blogging about Memorial Day already. It doesn't seem appropriate yet, does it? I should have waited until next week, but for whatever reason, it's fresh on my mind today. Most likely because we are planning the menu and it is at the forefront of my mind.

Here's the latest collage print I've listed in My Etsy Shop. It's called "Prince Roger's Garden"
The gorgeous little baby portraying Prince Roger is a vintage photo of my cousin Roger. His pictures fascinated me when I was a little girl browsing through the family "box of pictures". He's quite a lot older than I am, so I saw him as a baby, only in photos. His eyes are a spooky-ish light blue and his hair, jet black. I was so happy to come across this picture a couple of years ago in my mom's old photos. I just knew I had to use it. (It's a scanned image, of course. I never cut photos). So, I crowned him "Prince Roger" and put him in my garden.
Until Tomorrow:

It's never too early to talk about Memorial Day AND making memories. Perhaps in doing so you sparked an idea for someone to begin a tradition!
I will dive into the fresh veggies with you :) Our grill will hold grilled artichoke hearts, pineapple, portobello mushrooms, Italian squash, red onions....shall I go on? LOL. Oh and perhaps Boca burgers! As you know we are veg-heads here ;-)
It's not too early, less than a week away already! Actually, I was thinking about the week end, too-mostly wondering if I'm working or not-lol!
Ohh, love your prince in the garden. I just adore old pictures. I am planning on scanning a few of my mom's when I go home in a few weeks time! (can't believe I am saying that still!!) I love barbeques! You just have to have one on Memorial Day! It is the day that kicks off the whole summer season! Will it rain? Won't it rain? Hmm....it probably will over here! I think it's victoria day here but alas...I have to work. Never mind, I'll get two days off in lieu of once my boss leaves for the summer! Your menu sounds wonderful!
