Spring Moon Brings Early Gift

Today is the first day of spring, an actual holiday in Japan called Shunbunnohi (Spring Equinox Day).

Here on the ranch, I look forward to new life arriving! The first pony was expected to be born on March 31.

A few days ago the moon looked super full because it was the closest it has been to the Earth in 18 years.

I don't know if the moon had anything to do with it, but little baby pony 'Luna' arrived the evening of March 18.


Here you can see that Luna is not quite as dark as her sister Janet and she has a very appropriate white circle on her forehead.
