I had this little sign made by my amazing wife a few years ago. I read in a bio of President Eisenhower,that one of his officials had such a sign on his desk. It seems like good advice.(Think things over) Seems like a concept badly needed these days .

Walking in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts.The long winter is slowing down or postponing what I do for a living,so might as well enjoy. It's still 7 days a week though with the sheep, poultry and dogs. But enjoying the time better without Meta. 👍

Our ingenious hens find forage despite all the snow we have.They have plenty of food in the chicken house where it is snug and warm but they love to go about looking for their own feed,here and there.

Observation...working with " these dogs" (Border Collies)you can learn to read body language . Here Tru shows her careful consideration of the sheep she is working with. All three ewes in the frame are reacting differently to her. She and I together observe and take the next step to move the sheep.

Young Gus escorts a lone goose away from a school building out into the playing fields where it can find its flock. On the job last spring. Gus is a wonderful young Border Collie with a big personality and lots of talent.
