If you have ever seen sheep smiling. First warm sunny day in some time. I think even our ducks were smiling.😁....me too.

Yesterday's "Arctic walk" in a local park. I was told that is now an "old fashioned winter",like when we were kids". I don't remember blasts upon blasts like this,wild swings of temps.,ice like this.This is different. (Gus,Blade,Tru)

Tru "holding" sheep while I had put down hay,so I did not get run over, an important job for a collie.

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. πŸ‘

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.

Dreaming of warm times. Moses ❀️working a shore line,and enjoying it as much as any playπŸ™‚

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.

Come on Spring! Blade and I out of a paddle on the job,last Spring.🌞πŸͺ»πŸͺ»πŸͺΊπŸ¦πŸ¦

Walk on a cold winter's morning with Moses, Blade and Tara... 19th cent. Hotel Ruins in the Berkshires ( Mass.)

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.
