The Old Sheep. Their Last Summer

by Jon Katz
Last Summer

We’ve taken in a dozen very elderly sheep for the summer. Their farmer says it will be their last summer – most of them are the human equivalent of 80 years old. We’ve put them in the back pasture and they cannot be herded. Red went to check them out and kept a calm and safe distance and did not disturb them. Their last summer will be a good one. They have about 15 acres of grass, shelter from the sun and rain. They are very still, grazing in the morning. I find them eerily beautiful, they touch me in several ways and I am going out to sit with them get them used to the camera. First album on Facebook.
