The Parson had to do a late-night feeding for the horses and donkey because of an appointment on Nov. 24.
I had just got the feedbags on all three when the donkey snapped his head up and froze, looking into the pitch darkness just ahead. Figuring it was a deer–they run through my fence all the [...]
