Update on update

I think our animals decided to help me with the kids - animals analogy from the previous post. I'm walking out of the house, where do I find them? The sheep fight for the right to stand on the top of a pile of mulch and _be oh so tall!_ Volk sits in the bed of my truck pretending he's going somewhere. Arghh...

Anyway, I went to the pasture where the sheep are to fix a leaking pipe. Of course, they all gathered around me to see what I was doing. You know how you can keep a baby endlessly entertained by hiding something in your pocket and then taking it out? Well, it's the same thing with sheep ... I almost can hear them talking among themselves - "Did you see what he just did? - Yeah, wow ... There was a flat ground just a second ago and now there is a hole there? Wow ... - Yeah, he can do things like that ... amazing."

Sheep have very pleasant smell, by the way. Most people when they think about sheep's smell think of the smell of their manure. Nope, not that. When they're out on the pasture and they clean only then you can actually smell _their_ smell. It's kinda similar to the smell of a clean dairy cow and there is a hint of how small children smell but there is also smell of wool mixed into that. In short - it smells like home.

Mornings on the farm can be difficult but I sure do love the evenings.

Happy 4th of July, everyone!
