Picaresque: Reunion I

About Me

Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Reunion I

(Read reunion II first)

About 2:30 Sue went out and started calling "lambs, lambs"and the girls came running. They sure look good and a shearing is in their near future. These are just a few of them. Sue has them trained.

In picture number two Polly has picked out their guard dog, nearly a twin to my Honey. Mose looks on good-naturedly. He may well be glad to see them go. While this dog will not likely be a house dog-it will assume the job the breed is born for-it will have a good life. These women are good to their animals. The mares are ready to foal and Polly is nervous.

In picture number three, Cinnamon the mama llama checks us out. Sue is waiting for them to go in the corral too.

Picture number four is the rest of the band of sheep about to come in for the evening. We had a fine warm spring day. The Sweetwater visitors were pleased. After their storm yesterday they are all mud and snow and wind up there.
