It's 10:30 p.m. and time to make one last check on the livestock. Count the sheep, check the rams, put Boone in his pen for the night. It's one of my favorite times. The sheep are sleepy, calm and peaceful. They usually bed down in family groups, with half grown lambs tucked up close to their momma's. Even last years lambs will lay down near their mom more often than not.
Its dark out and millions of stars shine in the night sky. Strange sounding night birds call to each other. Sometimes I linger, listening, letting the peace and the quiet of the moment wash over me.
Stay safe tonight woolly ones.
