Molly Mule....

Have you ever heard of  Farm-Garden Mules?  I hadn't either until one of my friends bought one. It is the size of a riding horse and to me looks more like a horse that a mule. I guess they can carry loads of stuff on their backs.  He is looking for another one but they are really scarce out here.  I am checking on the internet trying to find him another one.  He is planning on  riding one and the other one carrying supplies on a trip up into the mountains that don't have roads to them.  Maybe nobody has been there before. Sounds like an adventure to me.  He has named the mule Molly.   I thought that was a good name.  She runs around loose during the day grazing on what?  Cacti, sure not much grass in the desert mountains. However plants tend to turn more green when the weather warms a bit and some rains come.  I have seen the Missouri Mules in Missouri.  These mules are huge!  A mule is a good choice in this area; I think they don't require all that hay and all that we feed the horses.  I think when the oil supply is cut off from our country, a lot of people will wish they had a horse or mule to ride to the grocery store or to get the necessities.  There are still hitching posts in the town of Congress and the town of Wickenburg.
