you're sitting in your "new" bedroom chair, which you have angled just so to be able to see the side pasture out the window, you glance up from reading Lonesome Dove, and see a mini donkey doing morning laps around Salina as she meanders up the hill. Black mare heading to the barn in the a.m. means it's nearing breakfast time. Donkey doing morning gallop means there is a chance he will be tired and mellow for the med he will be taking after his breakfast!
The geldings know that Salina is operating on pre-BCBH time (Billie Changed Breakfast Hour) so they remain down in the front field, enjoying that lush grass before the sugars rise and I close the gate.

A new bedroom chair, nice. Poor Salina taking the walk up for breakfast to find the times have changed. Let me know how you enjoyed Lonesome Dove.
ReplyDeleteOh, she knows the times have changed - she just likes to be early. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a picture perfect morning. Hope you're enjoying my favorite book.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good, Linda! I am not very far but am now officially ON RETREAT so should be able to plug in more reading.
ReplyDeleteI am missing my horses and donkey already, not to mention cats and Corgis.
(and of course husband and children - wish they could all come with me but then I guess I would no longer be on retreat, LOL)
