...Sunday, in the wee hours of the morning,
5 am to be exact,
and it involved these two.
Don't let their innocent looks
fool you...
Apparently for some time they've been
hatching a plot,
biding their time,
waiting for the clip that secures
their stall latch to be forgotten
by their girl as she tucks them in for
the night...
It's not good to wake up at 5 am to the sound
of a gallop past one's bedroom.
I ran to the window just in time to see
a very bad little donkey race back past as fast as
his stumpy little legs would carry him.
I ran to the other window,
and saw Miss Jessica in the back yard
galloping in circles for joy.
It was barely light yet,
It was barely light yet,
but I saw the two of them disappear together.
A look out the front window proved our
worst fears,
there they were, traisping around the
new neighbors' yard and barn.
Won't they be glad to have us as neighbors...
~
The culprits were soon apprehended ~ some
grain in a bucket was too much to resist ~
and returned by the early morning light...
...waiting no doubt for their next opportunity.
And that, dear people, is about as exciting as it
gets around here!
