Only in Unionville

Some friends were going to be away for the whole day, so I offered to help out with the farm work. When I arrived I was greeted by a full-page, typed list of chores, divided into sections for dogs, cat, horses and chickens. In the "horses" paragraph was a sentence that gave me pause: "Just throw it over his stall door -- do not open his door even if it means throwing the hay into his head!" Fortunately it didn't come to that: all the animals behaved beautifully.
