Morning Rhythms

There's a certain rhythm to mornings with the donkeys.  It's a seasonal rhythm.  Winter mornings require  cleaning out the shed where they spend much of their day.  Spring brought a quicker, less thorough morning clean-up.  No straw bedding meant most of the "piles" could be relegated to evening duties.  I was just getting used to the new rhythm when Mother Nature pulled a fast one.  This morning, the winter coat went back on and the morning involved cleaning out the shed and laying straw.  I'll take spring back please.
