A Visit With Gracie and the Girls
Afternoon in the sheep yard...
When afternoon chores were finished,
I delivered hay to the sheep for the evening and night.
The weather forecast and the sky both told me that rain was coming,
so I put their hay inside each of their houses.
They immediately went inside to snack.
Meanwhile, Annie and I played ball in the sheep yard.
As luck would have it, the ball rolled right between Hope's legs and ended up in the house.
Annie circled and circled...
unable to find her ball.
There was no way she was going to look inside the house...
not with Faith and Hope inside.
Eventually the sheep left the house and Annie grabbed her ball and
exited the sheep yard as quick as she could.
