My friends, I have a confession to make. I have a terrible temper. Yesterday morning started like any other. I walked to the barn (shed. It’s a shed that I call a barn because it holds my animals), with my offering of hay in hand. I let out the girls, filled the hay rack, checked the water, and left.
