Patient Waiting
12/24/2007 8:01pm
This morning Poem and I went to the field where I hope to plant garlic later this week if the warming trend continues. But there was still 6" of snow cover on the field; it slopes to the South which is good for early sun but the wind blows from the North on that ridge and it has drifted several inches of snow on top of what had fallen last week. Snow on the surrounding un-drifted fields had melted yesterday with the 50 degree temperature but Winter remains on the garlic field. I'm disappointed rather than worried; we must wait another day or two to plant...worry comes later.

Poem is doing well now that she's turned 13 months. Here she is in a "Down" position (not a "Sit" position, or a "Stop" position while standing) patiently waiting for me. Notice that the ewes behind Poem keep an eye on her; they must always know where a nearby dog is. Everything works and so will the garlic...
