Today at school, quite a few students talked about how irritated they were — with others and things around them. It seemed to be in the air. It should not have been a surprise when we got home and discovered that the horses and donkeys had let themselves out of the pen and had an adventure. Nothing says irritation like four manes, tails, and forelocks full of burrs. In the end, the unexpected evening of grooming was a gift of time with the ponies that we wouldn’t have had otherwise, and now they’re extra beautiful.
