soggy donkey herder on Nostr: I thought they were up to no good, so I waited an extra long time before chicken ...

I thought they were up to no good, so I waited an extra long time before chicken bedtime. I found a few more perfect green beans to snack on, and I even went halfsies on them with Samwise. (Miss D prefers cucumbers.)
When I finally opened the garden gate, first the #horse then the #donkey had to come see if they could wander past me into the garden, and when I told them they shall not pass, each of them ran off the chickens back into the garden! But the third time I coaxed the flock back through the gate, they made it to their coop.
Then, of course, I spent a long time sweet talking my old lady. I’ve promised her a spa day tomorrow - I’ll use the angle grinder to trim her hooves, and I’ll brush her itchy shedding coat out as much as she wants.
It constantly surprises me that Miss D is 21! I got her when she was five! The only other person who’s been in my life longer is my spouse. It’s such a privilege to grow old with a horse.
