2. Neighbor W. invites us over to watch the sheep herding. His dog,
Tobasco and two others are having their lessons today. Daniel explains
to Mari that the dogs are herding the sheep. She asks if the sheep are
crying. He explains the difference between herding and hurting.
2.a. The dog trainer says watching sheep herding is like watching paint dry.

| Happy Birthday, Claire! |
3. Jack didn't care for Henri on Friday; he cried at every glimpse of the animal. By Sunday they were becoming fast friends and Henri could make Jack smile.
I like all of it - especially the solemn concentration with which Mari puts grass and clover in her pocket.
ReplyDeletePhotos of grandkids are so much fun to take and share, thanks Lee. We spent several days with our own 2 grandchildren last week and photos (more) will be posted soon on our blog.
ReplyDeleteMari is gorgeous. Look at those lips! Well, they're all goodlooking--Claire and Jack too. Is this an Irish family? The names...
ReplyDeleteAll delightful - love Mari in your hat! I would love watching that sheep herding, I think.
