there was a bit of excitement here...

...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,

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!
