Cold Rainy April Morning

I went outside this morning and for the second day in a row, Mr. Ed the horse had gotten out. Cocklebur, the little horse, and the sheep were still in the pen but Cocklebur was whinnying and upset because Mr. Ed had gotten out and he couldn't.

I led Cocklebur back into the pole shed with the sheep, closed the door and fed them some hay before going back out and coaxing Mr. Ed back into the coral with a bucket of feed. While closing the shed door behind Mr. Ed, the door came off the track and the east wind made it hard to try to fix, so I just propped the door and tied it shut. By the time I finished bringing water to the critters the east wind had brought a light cold misty rain; I was glad to get back into the house.

In the next few days, I will fix the fence and the shed door and let the critters back out to begin enjoying the new green growth of spring.
