It was – 5 this morning when we went out to feed the animals, the sun is high in the sky it is bright and clear. Eager to get to New York and see the Gee’s Bend quilts, the carriage horses and my daughter. The sun tells me Spring is asserting itself, nudging the everlasting winter out of the way. Good to see.
With all of the snow and paths, there are logjams all over the pasture. Red takes up his position every morning and waits for commands, the donkeys have to tiptoe around him delicately to get to the hay feeder. I am always touched at how careful these animals are not to harm one another. With Simon, it was different, he would try and push Red out of the way. But no one every got hurt.
