Drover and I went down to check on the sheep as did all my dogs…
The sky was wintery looking, the wind was strong and blustery. The dark blues and light blues in the sky contrasted like a beautiful painting, and the wind made my eyes water! It was cold! The grass is starting to grow and green up!
My sheep saw me coming and started bah bah bah ing for me! I love it when they talk to me! They look at my face and into my eyes. Searching for something! I talk to them and they walk up and rub against me and want to be petted!
I turned them out and let them eat the green grass. They all took 10 steps out the gate dropped their heads and never looked up for the next hour and half! The dogs and I went back to the house .
Drover and I went down before dark and he gathered the sheep (like that was a hard job!) Ha! and we walked the sheep up to the warm barn and to their feed and hay that was waiting on them!
Drover was full of energy and excitement to finally be working again! It has been since the clinic a whole month ! We have done nothing! I have been otherwise occupied!
The clean , cold, fresh air was good ! The wind cold but refreshing and head clearing! The sheep and my dog were good for me!
It is good to be alive and well and on the face of the earth!
