There is a flock of sheep and goats who come to graze in the lot above where our house sits on the hill. Each day the shepherd brings them and they eat the grass growing between the trash.
The girls like to watch them coming over the hill and make their way to the grass. This time of the year there are already a few babies with their mothers. I'm sure there will be more in April.
The shepherd is an older man and he's our neighbor too. He brings them and they graze for about an hour and then he takes them to another location. This is usually around 2:00 or 3:00 every afternoon.
We sometimes see him around the house in the morning, without the sheep. So we're not sure who has them at that time. And sometimes there are boys who are helping with the sheep, especially when the flock is larger in the fall.
This day was a warmer day and so we took the girls outside to see them and even walked further up the hill to get a better look.
The girls happened to be wearing some dress up dresses, so they were quite a sight walking up the hill and looking over the edge of the terrace.
But they enjoyed seeing them and now I'm sure we will be doing this a lot more often.
