It's so funny - I was talking with a fellow this morning who just returned from his daughter's in St. John's, Newfoundland. He was saying that they're trying there to re-establish prairie, discourage mechanical mowing, and such. He wondered if it wouldn't be possible to bring in sheep to do the job. WELL!!! Now he knows the answer!<br /><br />This really is wonderful, and one of the best parts is watching the relationship between the shepherd and sheep, and the dogs and the sheep. It's like watching ensemble acting. Taken individually they're impressive, but working together - they'll just blow you away!<br /><br />And don't you know those sheep were happy. Look at that grass!shoreacreshttp://shoreacres.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-77471453420350410012011-09-09T12:58:14.268+02:002011-09-09T12:58:14.268+02:00Tim: I LOVED watching the sheepdogs.

I've been meaning to reply to your note and the weeks just get away from me... still stuck in a lot of STUFF and plodding through. <br /><br />I do so enjoy taking a break and reading your posts. Your enthusiasm for life and its treats is so infectious that it always lifts my spirits to visit your blog!<br /><br />A couple of favorites... the one with the shepherd and his charges (where he is thinking and studying the situation) and the collage of the sheep (next to the last one of them "in heaven" dinning on the grass) jumped out of me on first glance! And of course, I cannot stop at just a couple... I also like the ones of the mother and child!<br /><br />Until next time... which might be awhile if I'm frantically doing last minute trip prep next Monday. You know I'll drop by eventually!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.com
