It is the most glorious Spring weather I can remember, sunny, clear, cool. Red and I went out to the side pasture to put the sheep there for the weekend – easier and more visible herding for the Open House. The lambs are still learning about dogs, the ewes are still protective. Ma is a passive resister, she just stands in front of Deb and stares at Red. Red gently but firmly backs her up into the flock. Good practice for the Open House, we do limited herding because of the lambs but it’s interesting to see Red get things in order.
