Candace Is A Shepherd


Candace is very happy tonight. She and her husband Henry came to get six yearling ewes for their own little flock. Candace has been wanting sheep for years. She was beyond excited, squealing with delight. I had caught most of them and stored them in the milk room. Candace helped me worm them and give them their spring shots. We got them loaded into the back of the Ford Explorer where Henry had stashed a bale of second cut hay from the Morrisville Equestrian program. My sheep have not had hay quite that delicious and immediately starting gnashing on it. We left them and went to find #6. Candace and her little flock drove away in the full moonlight. Her birthday is this weekend - how perfect. Sheep for her birthday!
